February 27th 2010 (3:34:17)

At the end of this summer I was in Pucon with my family, friends and other friend's family . we were staying in the house of one of them (uncle Jose) we were about 15 people between young and adults persons, that night suppposted to be "THE LAST" because saturday in the morning every body were going to comeback together to Santiago like a big family !

In the night of frebruary 27 we were celebrating and having a big farewell because we've got to say good bye to this beautiful holidays in the south of Chile, and waiting like every year repeat this experience. Suddenly in the middle of the party at first lights coming soon to flicker, next chairs and glasses was shaking everypeople were thinking that it was a joke, but when the movement became increasing we noticed that it was an EARTHQUAKE, the people that was inside the house went out it running because it was shaking a lot.

Every body was preocupated because it was very strong and so long, some mothers were in panic, and so scared . other was crying, in shock and other like me were trying to calm down the rest of families.

When the earthquake happened every body were trying to call someone else in other cities because we were cutt off, this night after earthquake we decided didn't comeback to santiago because we didn't know how was the way and how many damages were in the streets. Finally we returned 4 days later and we took 18 hours in comeback when we used to do the same travel in 9 hours. :(
