hmmmm

Whats going on?

There´s alot i don’t know about Chile....

I worry that some rush of sympathy, outpouring of grief on my part would be false. I don’t know these people, i don’t know their homes.... i have never heard of Concepcion
Severe shaking
The Chilean National Emergency Office (Onemi) is responsible for coordinating responses from services such as fire fighters, medical teams and civil defence.
The emergency response system is organised at national, regional and local level.
"Chile is a seismic country. So, we must be prepared!" is the message from Onemi.
The office provides advice on how to prepare for earthquakes and other disasters, and how to behave when one strikes.
Scientists say severe shaking is likely to have been experienced along a 300km stretch of coastline, including in important urban centres such as Concepcion, Arauco, Lota, and Constitucion.

So they were prepared but does that make it easier to deal with the devastation?
Is it only so crucial because we still feel a hangover from Haiti barely more than a month ago.... there´s still some fundraising going on but the constant reports and stories of the troubles there have died down alot. Only 78 reported dead.... so far!
I wonder why Chile ended up being the shape it did... This elongated stretch of coastline... seemingly only there to protect Argentina from the Pacific Ocean. Barely heading inland as if reassured by the presence of the sea, clinging to it....


more than 25 aftershocks... and apprently Ther ehas been a clue dropeed by Carly Simon as to who the song "yoú´re so vain" is about.... The Sun has figured it out.....

I´m dissapointed with myself at being distracted by celebrity news...
