Large cracks and holes have already swallowed more than 150 hectares of fields and destroyed an entire farm with about 70 heads of cattle, and chickens and some houses threatening farmers' lifes. The main event occurred suddenly in a loud boom.
Farmer Gonzalo was at home with his wife his daughter , 5 years, and his nephew when the house started falling apart. Then, outside, they were surrounded by holes and cracks. They were able to save about 20 calves and cows from the armageddon. After the collapse, the family memberswere completely isolated during 4 days, like trapped on an island. Heavy rains and an overflowing river started surrounding them. Help finally came after five days.
