blog, but i think is important to me and i wanna share my experience with you.... is about the Earthquake occurred in my country (before mentioned as "ass of the world") Chile... a seismic country, so i'm (we're) accustumed to this kind atmospheric phenomenon.
I'm from the capital and in the dawn of saturday at 3:30 a.m pretty much... all began as an insignificant seism that became increasingly stronger, very stronger.. oh damn it an earthquake! ...the intensity reached was of 8.8 magnitude Richter scale.
fortunately all my loved ones are ok, only with homemade desorders....nothing serious uff!
some buildings fell down, as well as houses, walls, bridges; broken glasses from windows, cracked roads and broken roads.
with all the energy liberated, the autorities waited and anounced tsunamis for Hawai, Japan, Russia and places arround,... and in the late ocurred some tsunamis in the Bio-Bio region (at south), where was the epicenter of earthquake... this zone have been the more affected.
in the most affected places the comunication and basic services are broke up, no electricity, no water, no phone, only comunication by cellphone in the best of the cases.
between the chaos, someones dominated by the hysteria sacked supermarkets and was inmates fled in some prisions, but the police have captured to the most.
at the moment 700 dead aprox.........
fortunately this happened on dawn....i had the privilege of live in a safe apartament, i love my home!!!... but in the corner of my home exist a beautiful church of medieval-barroque-gothic architecture "Basilica Del Salvador" suffered the collapse of a part of their wall...and we're expectant with what will happen with these.
well, after the earthquake, came and come the replicas (seisms), this is common, one are more stronger than others but no with the earthquake magnitude , at the moment more than 100 (according to news), now the concern for someones is the collapse of some buildings on danger to fall, and the most important...the help to injured people who lost their houses, their belongings and in the worst of the cases their loved ones...
greetings and kisses, i'm ok :) (who cares xD)

You did a very right thing writing this article. It's very important to make the world know what happened at your country from a close point of view like yours. I personally feel very very very sorry for what happened :( but very very very happy you are alright! I hope everything will turn back to normal in the less time possible. Too bad death can't be turned back to life. And too bad that many catastrophees are happening all so close to each other. In Haiti, In italy (another earthquake last april), in France and Germany(the great storm in this days)...all I can ask myself now is..is the world really ending?? :(
Poor people!
I don't think the world is ending. But I heard a theory: each nuclear test is an earthquake in another part of the world, it's just a theory but many data confirm. Perhaps we should take care of our planet!
