Well, The earthquake here in santiago was really strong, it was like 8.0º Richter, but most of the buildings are O.K. (except some apartments, some bridges and some old houses here and there) Here I had a wall from one of my neighbours all over my yard. If anyone of my familiy had run towards the main door, that one could have get killed by the bricks, but that was not the case. Near where I live an old lady died buried by a wall.
I feel I don't have problems facing earthquakes, not even big ones like this one. But If I had to see a Tsunami, i'd shit myself. Anyway, the worst part here for me was listening to people's screams from different places. Most of them were pure panic or shit like that, but that's something I will need some time to forget (if I ever will).
