A-OK in Santiago

Today in the North of Chile, there was a 7.7 earthquake. The earthquake was centered about 800 miles to the north of Santiago. We just wanted to let everyone know that everything in Santiago is fine. However, in several northern cities/towns 2 people died, 20 were injured, and there is plenty of damage. In Santiago, we did feel some swaying for about 40 seconds - It was like being out on a boat. It was different feeling than the past tremors we have experienced here. Just wanted to let you know we were OK!
