CloseA family captured video of the moment they fled their home during an earthquake in Colombia.
Liliana Pérez Ocampo and her family escaped moments before their home was rocked by a 7. 4 magnitude quake on Monday.

With at least 169 people killed, this has been the strongest earthquake to hit Colombia in the 21st Century, according to the country's Geological Service.
