It was scary here in Santiago to say the least - it was something like 7.5 here (200 miles away from the epicenter) and it scared the fucking shit out of all of us. I've never experienced such a powerful thing in my life. The shaking of the earth was violent enough but when you add to that shit the pitch black, the screams, alarms, snapping power lines spitting electricity and things falling and smashing .............. you got a proper nightmare scenario. I was fumbling around like a fucking child in that shit trying to find the god damn fucking keys so we could get the fuck out.
It's a good job the building we're in is a sturdy one. There are cracks in almost every wall though and there are still aftershocks hitting - there was one not an hour ago must have been at least 4.0 - so I'm still paranoid to say the least. Everyone's saying "ooooh that was a big one" (that last aftershock) but man, after what we experienced last night ...... it just seemed tiny. It's amazing that we actually have power back, internet and all. We do have a small market here every Saturday morning too and while it wasn't as full of vendors as it normally does be I was truly amazed to see at least half a market and people going on like normal
That shit blew my mind.
