So, I know it's old nws, but just to let you know, everything is ok, still some people (around 10.000) in temporary homes, but it's been almost a year and the country recovered, basically the damage was due to the tsunami, not the quake.

In the Capital Santiago, a couple of bridges and buildings fell.

thanks for remebering.

I've been out for a while but came back, the E30 is out of storage now.

regards.

I'm not sure about your question but... you do see the original post date right?

I'm guessing he means in case of future events

Noooooo !!!!, we are basically stupid here, we will rebuid inthe same place :), well the govt has been trying to convince people to move away from the creeks and beaches (there was nothing left anyway), but people own beachfront properties do not want to move and want to rebuid there.

Anyway, the last tsunami was in the early 60's, (largest quake ever recorded in the planet) so they figure it's a safe bet.

I live about 90 miles from the beach and about 3000ft above sea level, so tsunamis are no concern in santiago, but it's still shaking here (about once a month) you know, minor aftershocks 5.5. to 6.
