This handout photo released by the Colombia Presidential Press Office, shows an aerial view of a portion of Mocoa, Colombia, on Saturday after an avalanche of water from an overflowing river swept through the city as people slept. Streets were covered in thick sand, mud and tree limbs from the rivers and rainforest that surround the city. There was little drinking water and no power, which forced authorities to suspend the search and rescue effort during the night. When he finally reached the neighborhood where his in-laws live he found "just mud and rocks." Rescue workers with the military oriented him toward the mountain, where he found his relatives camped with other survivors.
