Thousands flee floods in Colombia

Thousands of people have had to abandon their homes in Colombia after massive floods caused by weeks of pouring rain. At least 11 people have been killed and hundreds of homes destroyed after rivers started to burst their banks in the South American country. It's been raining in Colombia since March, but forecasters are warning there's more wet weather on the way. Officials are worried the floods may turn into a national disaster as the soil cannot absorb anymore water.

I think that it is really bad to hear about more people getting killed or injured because of natural disasters. Different natural disasters are happening in the world. I am kind of scared of being attacked or being in a place were a terrible disaster is about to happen. Floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes are happening all over the world. I feel sorry for the people that are experiencing the natural disasters.
