Earthquake in Chile, but We Are Safe

An earthquake hit Chile close to the city of Concepcion this morning. It shook the buildings in Santiago, but most seem to have escaped damage. A few older buildings didn't make it through the quake unscathed, power is out in some areas and many businesses are closed, but overall the city is in good shape. Magge's mother, stepfather, Magge and I are all safe.

    This is way too close for comfort for me. So glad and enormously relieved you are all right and were able to post so quickly to let us know of your status. Please continue to do so. I'd love to hear that Rachel and Gonz are doing fine as well.
    Please post updates often, even if it is only on Twitter. Love you lots, xo

    To put things in a some perspective with the Haiti earthquake:

    Watch for those aftershocks - keep your shoes by your bed and sleep in your clothes - seriously.

    Hey guys, it's Jen & Aaron. We've been wondering and hoping you guys were not hurt in the earthquake. Sorry to hear that your plans have been re-arranged for you. We are in Brazil trying to enjoy the beaches in the rain everyday. :-) Keep us posted!
