From my sources, to talk about 300 deaths is optimistic. I think the real number goes around 500-600.
Yeah, those were the numbers in the morning. Now it's 700+, in total I think it'll, sadly enough, be more than 1K.
Some news. 25% of Chile has problems with water supply. I dont have water either, nor I will at least on 2-3 days. The good thing is that I have water enough for a week or so, and we went to get some water around. People started to sell the bread and water at such ridiculous prizes at south. Things are worst than TV shows. Some people I knew lost everything, literally, even the will to live. There will be more tsunamis and 6°-7° richter replicas, which means that the buildings that survived the 8,8° attack, will fall anyway soon. I feel replicas each hour or so.
Where my ex gf lives at north (like 600 from me) sea started to 'devour' the coast. If things goes like this, the whole city center will be under water. I dunno why but here on Valparaiso nothing happened, besides the phone/internet and water problems, but where I work (Viña del Mar) I think things will get pretty grim. Maybe there will a tsunami there too and I work close to beach. Hope nothing will happen. Valparaiso's bay seems to be fine, since its shape is like a U. Viña del mar's bay is straight and that's why I think things will be worse for them.
Wow that's very interesting, I saw some images of the flooding in the city, pretty sad to see people's life being 'washed away'.
Thanx everyone, I really appreciate it.
Well, I don't want to worry you anymore, so the last news:
-We won't have water for 5 days. My emergency supplies are enough to make it.
-I was kicked from MY house (well, with all this shit, my mother - who lives on MY apartment - said that I could forget it for now).
-I had an infernal argue with my ex gf and probably we won't see/talk each other anymore. In short, a fucking nice day.
Oh that's horrible, if it makes you feel better you can post anything. If you think there's anything I/we can do just post it, although the government seems to be quite effective in handling the aftermath of the catastrophe.
There've obviously been some riots, I guess it's understandable to steal water and food, but it's not nice to steal T.Vs and fridges
. Heck one guy was even caught on camera doing so
.
awful awful news!
how long does it normally take until all replicas have died out and it's quiet again?
I don't think one can really tell, there isn't a normal average. It could be one day, or three weeks. With the last one here it was about two days I think.
Is it safe to say mother earth is pissed?
Oh, for sure!. And let's not look just at Chile or Haiti, but also at the U.S. with the horrible winter that happened in Washington D.C., and now France, Portugal and Spain with the floodings. I just saw some videos on the BBC and it's pretty impressive to see totally-submerged houses… in France. One normally sees that in C.R. or something hehe.
Hence, I think pissed is an understatement.
On a more positive note, Canada beat the U.S. in the Winter Olympics Hockey Finals. Excellent!!!! I couldn't watch the game but I did listen to it
, and from what I heard both teams played very well, with 'honour, courage and discipline'
