Hello friends!
Today I´m going to talk about my personal experience at 27/F earthquake. That
day I was at Valdivia. It was a warm summer night and I was with my girlfriend
of that time at her house. We were watching
movies when the quake began. The first time I tough was that the movement was
produced by the motion of the coach, but when the heavy part of the quake
started we really realize that the movement weren´t a game. We had to leave the
house and went to the street. All the people at the neighborhood were at
street. Then I had to go to my house and all the people of my family were
crazy!!! My grandma was crazy because she lived the big earthquake at 1960.
That was the biggest earthquake of the history and she remembers every moment
of that day. All the old people of my neighborhood were screaming: “run to the
hills” because they tough that the sea were moving to the city. I tried to calm
down my grandma and a neighbor switched on the radio of the car (the electric energy
was useless) and we listen that the epicenter of the quake was at Concepción. The
seismic movement didn´t affect to my family or my friends because Valdivia is
far from Concepción, but I have a uncle that lives in Conce and our preoccupation
was for him, but finally he could communicate with us. The day after the
earthquake I went across the city observing the damage of the structures,
streets and buildings. I took a lot of pictures that day to catch that moment
for ever. Valdivia hadn´t very much damage but the center of the city loses a
couple of buildings and trees at the central square. That was my experience at
27/F.
