About 15 minutes ago I was sitting and planning lessons and all the sudden a train passed by and the room shook... except there are no trains in my city. I just felt my first temblor in Chile. We had to evacuate the classrooms and stand in the patio in the center of the school. The epicenter was nearby on the coast and the temblor rated a 6 on the Richter Scale. A big tremble, but not yet a terremoto, which has to rate a 7 or above.
Don´t worry about me. Temblores are more common here than most places in the world and buildings here are built to withstand them and terremotos much larger than the one felt today.
