| | | Earthquake in Chile
Just read in the news about a big earthquake in Chile this morning. They said it was an 8.8! Hope our member Terialka weathered it ok. The damage sounds pretty wide spread. There are tsunami warnings for most of the Pacific.

That's a big earthquake! It would place it in the top 10 largest I think.

Hospitaller
Can you give me the street where your family live in Santiago, I'll see if my family can find any info. My grand parents live on Monte Olimpo which is in Las Condes. And my aunt and uncle live in Los Andes.

I just found out via the web that my friend Micheal, who was there on business, is taking a bus to Argentina where his client can fly him back to the US in his jet.

Aw shucks Nick, I'm sorry to hear your news.
I've heard from my mother and younger brother and they are ok, severe damage in their house and apartment, no news yet from my youngest brother though.
He was vacationing near Constitucion, one of the towns wiped by the tsunami. Still networking like crazy with anyone from the area.

Nick, I feel for your loss... You and your family are in my prayers...
I, too am hoping Terialka is ok, I have not seen her online, and when I heard the news, she was the first thought that came to my mind..If anyone has heard from her, please let us all know, she is ok..
My prayers and thoughts are with the people of Chile.. Because of this site, and the fact we are an international community... events like this are more than news, it becomes personal..
