Earthquake in Iquique On April 1st of this year ocurred a big earthqueake in the city that I live currently (Iquique, Chile). The movement was horrible, and I said myself, "oh my God, this is the end of my life". Although the scale of the earthqueake was 8.2, only 6 people died. The following day my city seemed to be a lonely town because nobody was outside of their houses, all people were inside of them trying to sabe their belongings. The positive aspect of my country is that Chileans are always prepared in case of any movement.
