6.5-magnitue earthquake recorded in Colombia
June 8 (UPI) -- A 6.5-magnitude earthquake was recorded in Colombia on Sunday about 56 miles east of Bogota, according to the Servicio Geológico Colombiano. The SGC's database for tracking such incidents recorded the earthquake around 8:08 a.m. local time near the city of Paratebueno and described it as having a shallow depth. The agency said that it had received some 5,000 reports of people who felt the earthquake. Data shows that at least two aftershocks have had magnitudes greater than 4. Carlos Carrillo, the director of Colombia's national disaster risk agency, said during a news conference Sunday that damage was recorded to a national highway in the area. "In the inspection area of Santa Cecilia and the village of La Europa, as well as in Medina, the main church has been affected, including collapsed walls," he said. "So far, two people have been reported injured in that municipality. Damage has occurred to walls and facades of churches and homes, and there may also be damage to bridges." He later clarified that four people total have so far been reported injured, two in Paratebueno and two in Medina. They are all said to have minor injuries. Carrillo said authorities were seeking to verify the impacts of the earthquake on a health center in the town of Fómeque and on a Catholic church in the town of Une in the Andes. Damage to homes were also reported in the towns of Tocaima and Caldas. The U.S. Geological Survey also recorded the earthquake, describing it as a 6.3-magnitude tremor.

WorldPride weekend weather forecast: Scattered storms expected over events
WASHINGTON - It's a big weekend across our region with celebrations for WorldPride events taking over DC. This includes the big parade downtown at 1 p.m. on Saturday, which you can stream live right on your FOX Local app if you are not able to attend in person! Will Mother Nature cooperate with those outdoor weekend events though? The forecast Starting off Saturday morning, some showers leftover from a system in the Midwest look like they'll want to cross over our region. These look likely during the early morning hours of Saturday, with drier conditions then moving into the region heading into the afternoon. This is good news for the D.C. WorldPride Parade, which is set to start at 14th and T Streets, NW, at 1 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. While we cannot guarantee a completely dry parade, shower and thunderstorm activity through the afternoon and evening should be much more hit-or-miss. Temperatures will warm nicely into the afternoon as well, with high temperatures expected to rise into the lower 80s, though humidity levels will be high. Due to this, one or two of those pop-up thunderstorms could be on the stronger side. The Storm Prediction Center has officially placed our region under a marginal risk of severe weather – their lowest designation. What's next By Sunday, a stronger wave of low pressure will work its way towards the D.C. region out of the Midwest. With ample atmospheric moisture to work with, rain is expected to overspread the region during the morning hours. It could be heavy at times, with the potential for some isolated flash flooding not out of the question. Some thunderstorms could mix in as well, and though officially under a marginal risk from the Storm Prediction Center for severe weather, this looks to be most favored to the south of the DC area where warmer air will be present. By the afternoon, the rain should taper to more clouds and scattered rain showers, with high temperatures only reaching the 70s. Recent trends have struggled to work drier air into the D.C. region enough to the point that it seems like we are teetering in washout territory. Scattered showers and pockets of drizzle have the potential to continue well into the evening hours as low pressure passes to our south. Big picture view So of the two days, Saturday continues to show the most promise for outdoor activity. It is the early morning hours when activity looks most widespread. Sunday has been trending in a direction that may make outdoor activities difficult. There are still a few weather models that suggest that late in the day Sunday we could dry out enough to welcome in some late-day sunshine, but these models are outliers as of the writing of this story. Expect a wetter day Sunday, with unsettled conditions lingering into the early workweek as well. Later next week does look drier and sunnier, but hotter, as we look to make a run for something that has alluded us so far this year, our first 90°F day in DC.
