Its a damn shame, lets hope the aid efforts go smoother this time, and the news dont focus on fictionalised violence.

This from the telegraph -

The quake, which registered at magnitude 8.8 on the Richter scale, caused major structural damage to buildings in Concepcíon, which has a population of one million.

The shock wave also triggered a potentially deadly tsunami which has already hit land at the southern Juan Fernandez Islands, about 400 miles off the coast of Chile, where it was reported to have caused "serious damage".

The first images broadcast from Concepcíon, located some 70 miles southwest of the epicentre of the earthquake, showed a building consumed by a massive blaze.

Thanks, people. Me and my family are alright. The earthquake was really strong and long. Apart of some things that fell and broke up, everything is fine at home. So far, there are already 129 victims, and the media suggest that we could have over 180. Internet and TV cable have downtimes, but now it seems to be fine.

The streets in Santiago are a mess: a lot of destruction to some buildings, one sector of the airport, a brigde fell down, etc. It seems schools will be closed (children were about to start a new year).
Well, that's everything I know so far. Anyway, thanks for your concern.

I'm glad to hear you and your family are OK. 8.8 is pretty huge.

That really sucks. Earthquakes really scare me

It was a fucking nightmare. I was awake, playing Wii and all of sudden started.
Btw, if any of you need to contact some in Chile be patience: phones lines are more than collapsed and it would take a while and a lot of tries to make some contact.

It seems it was 7 in Santiago. In the epicenter was 8.3-8.8

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Glad you're safe, Joaco. I would hate to lose any member here.

8.8 sounds scary. I hope no one has to face such a terror again for a long time.
