Chile earthquake

Chile earthquake

I was sleeping on the 18th floor of a recently built apartment building in Reñaca, Viña del Mar, when I suddenly woke up to a strong tremor. The tremor grew stronger and remained strong for about 2 minutes, during which everything fell inside the condo. The TV sets fell on the floor, so did my computer, the frams hanging from the walls, the kettle that was on top of the stove fell, so did the toaster, the huge fridge slid 15 centimeters forward, the water from the toilet tanks spilled out and soaked the floor of the bathrooms… We couldn’t see anything since the power was out, and had to use our cell phone as a flashlight. We walked 17 floors down the stairs to check everybody and on the state of the building, which got some minor cracks.
