Hello family and friends,
as you have probably heard on Saturaday morning at 3:24am there was a gigantic earthquake in Chile. Much of the country is in a state of emergency. Fortunately Eliana and I (and the Chilean Family) are all safe and well despite extensive damage to many of the buildings here in Rancagua. The power of the quake here was 8.5. Communication inside and outside of the country is tenuous at best as with electricity and water. For this reason we are asking you to tell other friends and family that we are looking after each other and in fairly high spirits despite the stress.
We are still experiencing aftershocks on a regular basis, but other than that we are working together to help clean and reorganize family homes and businesses.
We look forward to hearing from you and send our love,
Greg and Eliana

Okay, ignore my email, I couldn't find my bookmark for your blog. Whew. However, I will send you a ridiculously long email at lunch today and fill you in on everything!!
ReplyDeleteSOOOO glad you're okay. Honestly, I heard about the Chile quake (after Maddie telling me that there had been a bad earthquake in Curry -- she remembered the wrong dish...honestly.) and sort of thought, Oh no, right after Haiti, they're going to get much less generous support... and filed it... and last night suddenly sat upright in bed and thought ELIANA'S STILL IN CHILE!!
Little slow here.
Okay, glad you're well. Email coming!
I've been thinking about you and hoping all was well. I'm glad you guys are ok. My thoughts and prayers are with Chile.
