My First Earthquake

Today, Chile was hit by a 5.6 earthquake. It originated 118 miles north of Santiago. At first I thought that somebody was working on the building and thought the coworkers were kidding when they told me it was a "terremoto." Don't worry. No major damage here and I still had to finish my work day.

Upon a visit to Wikipedia, I found that the strongest earth quake in recorded history originated from Chile only 50 years ago. Of course, I learn about this after I am living here.....
