I'm worried about Carla. I believe she lives in Santiago? Hopefully she's ok.
Edit: yes, her profile says Santiago. Praying she's safe and well.

When I see these posts I can almost hear the old 60's newsroom anchor with the ticker thing going in the background, and the anchor all anxious!

Wow, the death toll is up to 122 already:( Bet that will go up. Hopefully the tsunami won't be very large.

122 isnt THAT bad considering this was MUCH stronger than what hit Haiti.....

So is Hollywood gonna jump all over this too? Maybe they can redo the redo of 'We Are the World'. Ha.
I'm sure there are environmentalists worried about the Galapogos. Maybe it won't be that strong straight north.
Any current tsunami pics yet? Surely, there are planes in the air.
later~

People walk along a highway with a collapsed bridge in the background in the outskirts of Santiago after a huge 8.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Chile early killing at least 78 people, on February 27, 2010. The massive quake plunged much of the Chilean capital, Santiago, into darkness as it snapped power lines and severed communications, and AFP journalists spoke of walls and masonry collapsing.

Behshad, dear, copy/pasting a picture is worth copy/pasting 1000 words, so you're just as guilty as FF.
