Earthquake in Chile

Hello, 

As most of you have probably heard there was an earthquake in Concepción, Chile (south of Santiago by 200 or so miles) at 3 am Chilean time.  Santiago was also affected but fortunately was not hit as hard as more southern regions.  

I have not heard from Antonio yet as they say that the phone and internet is down but I did see that another friend in Santiago had written on facebook that her and her family were all well.  I also have been keeping tabs on the news and it appears that a few of the old stone buildings in Santiago were damaged.  Antonio's house is of wood and though it doesn't seem the sturdiest, I am hoping that for this reason exactly it was able to wiggle around and not retain too much damage.  

I will let everyone know as soon as I hear more from Chile.
