Jose, are you okay?!

that is what im wondering. actually 1st thing i thought about was if jose was in that country. if so let all hope he is ok.

I heard about it and was worried but totally forgot Jose was there...I hope you're okay, buddy.

wow... did anybody see if he's got email listed or something?

I hope he's alright... I have learned a lot from his posts already!

It was all over the news yesterday. Terrible.

I hope you and your family are ok, Jose!

Man, I hope he's ok.

I don't know who Jose is but i hope he's alright too

Nature seems to be on the warpath recently ever since we failed to get a binding agreement on climate change in December - Haiti, Chile, that monster storm currently causing havoc and flooding across western Europe. I dread to think what the hurricane season will be like this year and the annual European heatwave.

I hope Jose is ok also.

Hi all,

I'm doing fine, but I have no electricity or telephone at the moment - just logging in from work. I live in Santiago, it struck at an 8 degree. My family was just scared but alright.

I'll be busy for a while, as we are on emergency and I'm checking buildings for structural failures.

I'm still worried also for Concepcion, it's the city I was born and I haven't been able to reach anybody from there.

Regards,

This morning I saw a bit and a reporter was talking about Santiago.

Needless to say, I'm glad you're okay, and I hope everyone is fine.

well glad you're okay!

we were just discussing how this quake was so big they are saying it has slightly altered the earth's rotation! shorter days is not cool.

I hope you get in touch with your home town soon!

Glad to hear your safe Jose. Hope everyone else in Concepcion is ok as well.

Its good to know our Jose is ok. Man, two earthquakes in just a couple months with huge effects. This is tough. The axis of the earth possibly has been shifted. Thats bad. My heart goes out to all affected by this tragedy.

I was in my science class and we were talking about this and I guess NASA thinks the the Earth's tilt has been moved by like one micrometer because of the earth quake.They also think that because of this, days are now about one microsecond shorter.

Glad to see your ok Jose.

Thank Primus you and yours are ok, Jose! It is good to hear this from you. May the best come to you and your coworkers as you undertake the undoubtedly daunting task of making sure that all the buildings in the region are safe!

good to hear your safe jose hope all turns out ok

Good to hear from you, Jose. It's a relief to know that you're alright.

Glad to hear that you're safe Jose!

Glad your ok Jose!

New big earthquake to add to that list - eastern Turkey just over 6.0 on the ricter scale with at least 40 aftershocks (yep 40) so far.

maybe I should get lower shelves for my toys...
