Hello everybody! Last night I was in my car returning to Santiago from Viña del Mar (the seaside) and waiting the green light the 8.4 earthquake started! It lasted 2 minutes!!! Some people were scared, most acted calmly... So that brings to my memory what was to be a JW in the MOST seismic country in the world! It's been such a relief not to hear the earthquakes prophecy things paranoia like back in 2010... On the other hand we are experiencing 5.0+ magnitude shakes every 30 minutes or so (see the map http://on.doi.gov/1Oz7DaB), and we are making almost normal life...

I hope things normalize as soon as possible for you and your fellow Chileans.
May your country and countrymen rise to any and all challenges.
Kind regards

i've been away from the jws for about 2 years now, so i don't now very well what is being talked about the disasters, anyhow i still have some friends in, but every time those thing happen the same "the end is drawing coser" starts...

Just thinking about all the JWs that live in on the west coast that have been hit with earthquakes over the years. I guess just about every earthquake makes them think that it's the BIg A !!

My mom is about 1200 km from Santiago and she said all the light fixtures and ceiling fans were swinging back and forth. No one knew what the heck was going on. -
