Another massive earthquake has struck and we have hubbers in the area.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time, but please as soon as you can check in with us to let us know you are all ok.
Edit: Should be Chile was typing this way to fast. Concerned about all.
I've just noticed the news about the earthquake. I have friend and family in the area, thankfully they are all ok but there is a lot of destruction and hundreds have been evacuated from the coastal cities due to the tsunami alerts.
Phonelines were down earlier during the day but they are slowly coming back.
My prayers go to my Chileno brothers and sisters.
Princessa I am glad to hear all are doing well. I sent Tantrum a note but who knows when she will get it.
This is unbelievable... about a million people live in that area... the camera's are STILL bouncing... more then 100 Americans are there... all are accounted for... however, now the tsunami threats are coming! May God Bless All Of US.
Thanks for posting this Lynne. I went and looked it up on the internet once you mentioned it (no TV here) and they are saying at least 64 people have been killed...?
for an 8.8 earthquake, that isn't bad. I would expect to hear many more.
my thoughts and prayers go out to Chile and anyone affected.
I heard back from Tantrum she is well they didn't get anything in her area.

Earlier this evening, my daughter went to the ER because she was having terrible stomach cramps. When I arrived, she was in a hospital bed holding a dead baby. It was a perfectly formed, beautiful baby girl, about 10 inches long. I didn't even know she was pregnant. We're all heartbroken. I can't...
