There was a horrible earthquake in Peru last night. It reached 7.9 in the Richter scale and the city near its epicenter, Pisco, has been nearly destroyed. The communications haven't been restablished yet, over 300 ppl are dead and homeless, and the highways have collapsed.
The government has coordinated with the Peruvian Air Force to deliver help, supplies, health personnel, etc. And hopefully soon ppl in other parts of the country will be able to reach their loved ones in the city of Pisco.
Thank God my family and friends, who are all in Lima, are okay, still nervous and scared, but fine.
Here is a clip with impressive images during the earhtquake last night in Peru.
As it always happens the most affected were the children, the old and the poor. I just want to ask you to pls say a prayer for all the victims.

I was wondering about your family too Shi! Also I wonder if Sica has friends or family there
too. I'll definitely keep Peru in my prayers.
1The seism lasted for almost 2 minutes, which is a very long time when the Earth is moving like that. My sister said that it felt as if the ground was made of jelly. But thankfully the origin of the earthquake was deep down, if it had been near the surface of the Earth, it would have simply flattened out Lima and the surrounding cities.

I hope recovery efforts are full force! my prayers go out to all the people that lost luved ones and that were affected greatly by this!
