I’m here. Still listed as a 7.9 down here with two big aftershocks, 6.2 offshore and one 7.0 onshore. Here high up in the Andes we got really good massage! All safe!

I am praying for the people of Templo Betesda, the people of the Jotebeche Church, and the people of Chile.

I pray for the people of Hawaii.

Lord God, keep them safe. In Jesus' name, Amen.

I think a report of a massive earthquake anywhere in the world belongs in News forum, not Chit chat
