10 years ago
I'm Fine as well my family. My Home had minor damage and services are just returning. Due how late it is i can't check if we have structural damage, so far it seems the answer is No.
Coquimbo's Center get damaged by the Tsunami, the situation of my Work Place it's unclear.
I don't have more information about things so far.
A lot of Replicas.
I hope for the security of all the families from the affected zone
I'll be Updating This Journal Accordingly.

So far, we are still having after shoocks (Yesterday we get three over 6.0 during the length of the night that doesn't let us sleep much) but the buildings haven't get any damage from them.
Thanks for your concern.
I'm in Southern California. They talk about "The Big One" all the time here. They even make movies about it since Hollywood is right here. Thankfully, "The Big One" has not happened yet, but that's mainly due to the fact that it's a different fault system here. You're along the coast of a "Mega-Thrust Fault" associated with a deep ocean trench off the coast. Those trigger some of the biggest earthquakes in the world. I did notice the 8.8 Chile Earthquake of 2010. There was some incredible video from that earthquake, but I could never imagine an earthquake that big.
The biggest earthquake I've felt was a 7.2. That in itself was a major earthquake, but I felt this one from a distance. I only felt the slow rolling motion and a little bit of up-and-down movement. That was the most disturbing to feel, since I never felt that up-and-down motion before. That's when I knew it was a big one, but thankfully there was no damage where I was at. We were well over 100 miles from it.
Slowly i'm working on stuff and decided to reply to comments.
I have heard a lot of "The Big One" sound like one of those scary stories you really don't wanna heard for how paranoid it make to people. I wasn't on the earthquake of 8.8 but the spread of it arrived in Coquimbo around 6.X Almos 1500 kms away.
Honestly, wanted to talk with you on a while. I use Skype, if you have we could contact and hang some if you get the time.
Thanks for your concern.
It was really bad, a lot of damage in the coastal areas but things are indeed better now.
And yeah, sounds like there's still quite a bit of recovery left to do.
