More Aftershocks

Today we had three more strong aftershocks from the February 27th earthquake. Again they happened north of us, about 450 miles up into the 6th region. (we live in the southern 10th region) However this time there was a tsunami warning in effect from the 4th region to the 10th region. The children were taken out of school in Achao and literally "ran to the hills". As soon as I found out, I set out to find them. It was like a scene out of a movie as I weaved in and out of traffic to rescue my kids. (maybe a little hyperbole there) Once I had them in tow, we went back to our town of Curaco to get Ruth, Grace and Ruth's aunt, Tia Monica. In Curaco things were similar to Achao. The people were nervous and there were rumors in the air that the tsunami was drawing nearer by the moment. After assessing the situation we decided to observe calmly the goings on and from there make our decision to stay at home or go into the hills as well. We currently are at home, have had lunch and are watching the news and getting in contact with our loved ones. In Iquique, the northernmost part of Chile, they have just issued an evacuation warning. Apparently the entire country (with the exception of the far south) are being affected by this. Please pray and we'll keep you posted as we have more news.
