so far, about 300 dead, unkown nomber of missing people. also there was the tsunami, half of a city went underwater, still noone knows how many died there.

I live alone in a hotel in a place the so called "old wown" where all the houses are old (more than 100 years) and most of those houses are on the ground. the rest of the city (santiago, the capital) is ok. I was sleeping when it all started, at first it was just the noise and slow movement so I woke up and really didnt put much attention on it, but after a while things started to get bad and a lot of dirt started to fall all over my room, so I got up and things went really bad when one of the walls started to make a noise like it was cracking. so I grabbed my cat (Odin) and went out. I was lucky, the wall almost felt down, there was a hole in the wall of about 20 centimeter, you could see trough the crack to the street!!! and a piece of glass cracked right over my head, luckily it didnt break. glasses where falling and breaking everywhere so I colundt move from where I was, even thou I knew that the glass over me could break.

when it all ended I took my notebook and my cat and I putted them in a backpack and I went to a kendo friends house. it was a long run, usually it is 30 minutes in car, I finally got there asking for a lift, it took me about an hour and a half in complete darkness alone witn my cat. its funny that only young people helped me, all the "adult" people in cars didnt help anyone but themselves.

now electricity is restored in 90% of the city (everywhere but the place Im staying ) anyway I have clean tap water, also I have electricity and wifi internet connection just a couple of blocks away wich is paradise compaired with thousands of other people that have lost everything... well I can say that Im homeless, tecnically I am! it feels weird.

my family lives in another city about an hour and a half from santiago, they are ok, my dads house is a bunker. so now Im waiting until services are restored so its safe to travel. there has been up to 50 or 60 little earthquakes of different intensity, (up to 5 or 6 grade) wich make travel too unsafe.

anyway, in Chile we are used to earthquakes, so things are not as bad as they could be. an 8.8 in richter scale quake with tsunami are big words anyway. in haiti it was only a 6 grade earthquake and it devastated the island, in chile that same earthquake wont even wake you from your nap, we are used to them. but an 8.8 its just too much.
