In that first picture I swear I can see a body sprawled out in that red car.

Just heard from my brother in law who is in Santiago on a mission. An amazing amount of aftershocks and a really scary experience. I think that this event will probably change some of the activities in his mission as he will probably get a lot opportunities to help clean up.

Very relieved that he is safe.

Tsunami warning lifted -- nothing happened. That was lame.

I was in Hawai'i when that earthquake hit Samoa. There were a bunch of tsunami threats then as well but not a dang thing happened.

When I was kid I was also there when a hurricane was supposed to hit and then like two days before it got downgraded to a tropical storm.

I always feel so Let Down. But for some reason I'm still always hanging around waiting to get crushed like a bug in the ground.

Tsunami warnings here all over the TV, and even some vocal sirens yesterday. But aside from some storm surge-like flooding up north, nothing significant to report.
