I really feel for those people.  They have prepared very well for earthquakes, but they just keep getting hit.

My son is in Santiago right now.  He sent us some pics of the damage from the first quake.  Where he was it wasn't too bad, the neighbor's fence fell over and that was about it.



If this one is centered along the coast it probably didn't affect him too badly either.
