Pilar was the first one to tell us about the earthquake last night. She went immediately on line to find out more. But there wasn't much information available yet. Our friend Mariana called to let us know about the earthquake as soon as she had found out.
Martha tried to call Adolfo several times, but was not able to reach him. Apparently much of the power was out in Lima.
This morning we saw and heard more details about the devastation. Ica was hit the hardest. A church had collapsed during evening mass. Many parts of the Pan Americana were covered by rubble from land slides.
In Lima, many people ran out into the streets in terror. The quake apparently lasted close to two minutes.
Martha finally got a hold of Adolfo, who said that everyone in the family is OK. He was driving with Mamama, when the earthquake hit. Most of the damaged buildings seem to be in the poor parts of the town.
