There is damage in the city, rocks fell on the way to Alto Hospicio, and the ships on Muelle Prat (Roadblock S23 Leg 1) got hit with a wave so there's a lot of damage there.

Personally I didn't lose anything except for glasses, lamps and minor things that fell from the furniture. The main problem I had last night was that I was alone at home so that was really scary, especially because I knew my mom would worry about me. Thankfully we've been talking about what we would've do in case of anything so we knew we would gather at the stadium. That's when I got the message Xarles sent me, somehow I got 3G there so I answer him via twitter and while we waited there for the alarm to stop so we could go back home I posted here...

Thank you so much guys, especially you Xarles, you are amazing for worrying about it, and actually getting in touch with me, thank you so much.

If there is anything you would like to know let me know, but please be patient.

Glad you and your family are safe and there's no major damage to your home!

Good job, it is always hard to react properly at those times, and it seems you did perfect.

Also relieved to see it is not a major thing and that you are OK :)

Stay safe! :)

I was looking at the US Geological Survey web site http://earthquake.usgs.gov and there have been numerous aftershocks. There was a 7.8 magnitude one just about 30 minutes ago and this one worries me because it was onshore and 23 km south of Iquique while most of the others were west or northwest in the Pacific Ocean. The latest one was smaller but much closer to Iquique so it could have be worse than yesterday. Fortunately, it looks like they build to withstand quakes like this, so hopefully they are OK.

I went through the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in San Francisco in 1989 and I hope I never experience anything greater than that. My thoughts and prayers go out to Vitoko and the people affected by these earthquakes

And isn't this week two of these shocks and shakes? Scary thing!
