ya i still haven't spoken to my family yet.. but my grandma told me most buildings in chile are built to with stand a 7.0, but they got hit by 8.8 this sucks.
Even if they have a stong economy and they are a very successful country, its going to take them a lot of money to rebuild from this and I'm sure many people were killed or injured. Just because they are a country with a better foundation, we shouldnt overlook them and not try to help.
