Hello MOl,
as some of you know iam located in Santiago Chile, the earthquake was a 8.8 here with a 9.0 at the epicenter about 200 miles away alot of buildings were destoyed, i woke up at 3:40am to a small shake but in a couple of seconds the bed was jumping and the house looked like ruber, i builded my house like a prefab/mobile home, so its about 16"-20" off the gound on piers, that helped alot on dampening the ground movement but both of the trucks, expedition and suburban jumped of the ground,
i was able to get up and run to look outside thru my door, and the trucks even moved a bit, the moon was bright, and the sky changed colors, it lasted about 2 minutes at a 8.8 grade.
started up my generator right away, and tv was not transmiting nor the radio, so i conected my wifi and notebook to see the news, there is alot of damage, supermarkets are closed, roads have huge cracks and bridges are down, a tsunami hit some of the coasts with waves goingin about 7 blocks in, theres alot of dead people, and buisness went down to nothing, i had a car for a full detail on saturday and sunday, but without electricity and no roads, i cant work, i also had a project with VW to work on the 8th on another comercial on the south of Chile, so iam not sure whats going to happen now, people are just focusing on basics like fuel and food, i doubt they will worry about the look of their vehicles now.
well the good thing is my family is great also some close friends.
