It's true! The Friday 26 of February an earthquake destroyed almost all the lower part of our country, including the central part, my house was also affected by that, fortunately, my friend, my family and I survived to the catastrophe... You know what happened to Haiti? something similar happened in Chile, my Country. And that's not all! The earthquake was SO strong, that created a Tsunami that goes to Hawaii, Chine, New Zeland, and other that I don't remember. Total apocalipsis!
What you think about this? In the middle of the colapsed buildings, the only things that can be reused was robbed, the supermarkets are useless, we don't have electricity in a whole part of the city, I'm writing the fastest that I can to tell what ocurred, we don't have help, the sewers aren't functioning properly, the phone towers that bring us the signal was unable to use for two days, what a scary day, I don't know how to say this in english, but I will do it in spanish, "el terremoto fue de 8,5 grados Richter", now all the classes will be suspended till new advise. The people that died was something like 124,000 or at least that is what I know, any comments about this?

I know that there's another thread, but I did this because I live in Chile, so I can inform more about this.

yeah, but I feel bad, because when Haiti was surpresed by the earthquake, nobody here was interested, and now we are attacked, I think that is Karma, I'm VERY lucky that my grandpa' builded part of my house, the only bad thing that ocurred to my house was that some copybooks disappeared, nothing more, my computer survived, the electricity was not damaged here and internet was safe, so that's why I can write right now.

The worst thing, apart of the earthquake, was the tsunami that comes to 4 countrys more.

AND THE WEIRDEST THING WAS THAT WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE COME (it was at the 4 hrs of the night) THERE WERE FLASHING LIGHTS ON THE SKY LIKE THUNDERS! WEIRD AND SCARY BLUE FLASHES LIKE THUNDERS FROM THE SKY AT THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!

I feel really bad for you. But, like you said, you didn't suffer the worst of it. I wonder if there are any users that were in a really bad spot? I hope not...

Anyway, I'm glad that the most important things survived: You, your family, and the internet.

60% of the time, works every time.

The fact of be in the middle of the earthquake is scary, it's so strong that if you move, you don't know where's the path, you see all moving up-down-up-left-down-up-right-down... And also drops you, You know how strong is a bomb, the earthquake is like being inside the bomb, all moves, impossible to hear or see anything, destroying all in it's path.
And the flashes, if they were cables failing, the light it's suposed to be yellow or white, the ones that we seemed was blue, light blue, and ones almost black.
