8.8 Quake Rocks Chile

Glad everyone from the site is OK.

I have been to Chile several times and have friends I have not heard from in Santiago, Valparaiso and Vina del Mar.

I love Chile and my heart goes out to all those who continue to be without services, water and food.

I know many of the help teams are coming over the Andes from Argentina, which (except for Boots13

) is a pretty scary trip as I recall.

I hope the temblores are over and that things can begin to heal.

I have heard criticism of the government for not asking for US help initially...my thought is that they were probably afraid US missionaries would be trying to steal their children too.
