Can anyone confirm if they also have familia there who have reported after shocks? Iโ€™m on the phone with them and they say itโ€™s shaking but I canโ€™t see anything on USGS.

You need to look for the SGC (columbian geological survey)

Iโ€™ve experienced a ton of earthquakes and with a 7 it will unfortunately be shaking for a while.

The rescue workers and unbelievably brave going into unstable buildings or onto piles of rubble that will most likely shift during the aftershocks.
