It has been an insanely long and very emotional four days since I heard about the 8.8 earthquake early Saturday morning. I have been able to find out that everyone I knew in Chillan and Tome is fine. No collapsed houses, no deaths. Things are still very hard there as they continue to have many aftershocks daily and many cities are under curfews because of looting. There are still a few people whose well being I have not been able to find out about however worrying about a few people is much more emotionally doable than worrying about 100's. Chile continues to be in my thoughts and prayers constantly and I am ready to go down in an instant if there is a need (especially if there were a need to provide OT services) but Chile is a strong country and I think that once the initial emergency is over they will not need massive amounts of humanitarian help.
