The eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in November 1985 caused significant property damage, particularly in the town of Armero, Colombia. The volcanic activity triggered lahars (mudflows) that devastated the area, leading to the destruction of around 25,000 homes and significant infrastructure damage. The estimated economic losses from the disaster were around $1 billion, highlighting the catastrophic impact of the eruption on communities and property.
