Hello Dear ZQcom
Last night was the most horrible night of my life. At about 3:30 am, I was bed,
watching television, and suddenly the power went off. There was something in the air,
a strange smell, metallic, I got scared and got up immediately. I heard a thud, which
was growing, as the sound of a big engine, and suddenly felt the ground under my feet
was shaking, and so began the earthquake. The movement was undulating and became more
and more intense.
Immediately, I shelter under the frame of a door, with my back against one side and
both hands grasping the other, The earthquake was so intense that even in this
position, it was difficult to stand.
Never in my life had I felt such fear, in the dark, the hearthquake became more and more
stronger. Everything lasted near two minutes and a half, but I felt as if was 5 or more.
When everything stopped, came a terrible silence, as if the world were suspended,
totally dark, I was isolated, alone. Because unfortunately I was alone at home.
I spend the rest of the night, under the lintel of the door with a candle in one hand
and the phone that it was useless in the other, waiting endless hours until dawn.
Energy came back at 9:30 pm yesterday, and then trhough the news I knew that the
epicenter was at the south, very near where I lived and where my parents still lives,
I knew that there have been tsunami in some coastal cities. There are fishing boats in
the middle of the streets of Talcahuano a port city.
Everything has become chaotic. Fortunately my family in the south is fiune, just
terribly scared.
I am scared of the constant aftershocks, I'm still home alone, my husband has no way
to return home because the bridges fell down and roads are broken.
My house was not damaged, but yesterday I didn't felt very well, because the aftershock
was every half hour, and it felt pretty strong. So I could not sleep, and I'm hoping
that everything returns to normal gradually.

OH MY GOD! JES! *tackles you and gives you the biggest hug you've ever had in your life* I'm so glad to know you're safe! I was so worried! We all were! I just want to say that I love you girl and I'm so relieved that you're safe! Last night I sent your Knight to watch over and protect you and obviously he did a good job! I'm so glad to have you back with us! *many, many hugs and kisses* :D
That had to be scary, being home alone. I'm glad you knew to stand in a doorway. The tsunamis were the worst near you, other coastal cities far away didn't get anything as bad as expected. I'm glad your family and your husband are fine too. Hang in there.
We are so glad to hear you are okay!!! It must have been terribly frightening. My thoughts have been with you since I heard the news of the quake. I hope things settle for you.
i am so happy that you are well and your parents/husband too!!
that was you write here sounds so hoorible, and i hope that it everything returns to the normal activity, too ..
last night we all hope for you and maria-jose
i wish you and your family/husband all the best!!
Jes - you have no idea how worried everyone has been - with good cause, it seems! Big hugs and kisses, and I hope that you and your husband will soon be reunited!
I'm so glad that you and your family are okay. I hope that your husband get home soon and save. *Big hug*
omg hun that must have been truly terrifying, I am so glad that you,your husband and family are ok. We have been worried sick so this is truly great news. I hope you are feeling a bit better now and not as scared. You are in my thoughts and I hope things settle down for you. I`m still waiting to hear from Maria-Jose to know that she too is ok. *Big hug and kisses*
JES!! THANK GOODNESS!
WHAT A RELIEF!
Now to read of your ordeal.
Love and hugs...
Thank you, girls.
You do not know what this means to me. I am so grateful with you.
@Raine, In the middle of all, I have the image of my Knight in my mind.
And I kept telling myself, think of nice things, think of beautiful things.
And yes, he did a good work.
I really hope my husband can return home soon. But I am calm because I know this well.
I just hope that everything improves.
Glad you're okay, hon. I was away all weekend and did worry about you and Marie-Jose and doesn't Kaoz live near you as well?
*hugs* So glad you are safe.
Oh Jeslil! Thank you so much for checking in with us. You are so much a member of the family here and we were so worried about you. It's a little weird, because we aren't really an "entity" that someone would think of notifying if something was wrong, something we could help with if we knew.
Did you know that it was one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded?
Oooh, I'm so glad you and your family are safe! We've been worried.
*full body hug*
Now to begin the rebuilding... I wish you and yours all the best!
I'm so glad to hear that your family and your husband are also safe. How funny that you kept picturing your ZQ Knight in your mind and last night that was the first thing I thought of was to send you thehealing blessing that you had posted and your Knight in shining armor to watch over and protect you. I'm sure Maria-Jose will be fine too, I sent her one of your guardian zq angels to watch over and protect her, she may just be having more trouble getting online.
Omz Jes!! I have been so very worried about you and I am sooo glad to hear from you! *hug hug hug* I am so glad u are okay and that ur husband can come back to you soon! You are still in my prayers and I am glad your house is still in one piece!!
Glad to know that you and your family are ok! Big hugs and I hope your husband can get home to you soon!

The force of nature is really impressive.

Espero que tudo se resova e que não passem mais por esses medos.
A força da natureza é realmente impressionante.
Vou ficar torcendo para que você e sua família estejam bem!
Tudo de bom sempre, muita luz divina.
Thanks God, we got you back here. we were so worried!
It makes me sad that you had to go through all this.
But im very glad that you and your family are fine and saved.
Hope your husband gets home very soon, and that Maria-Jose is saved as well.
Take care hon! *much love& hugs*
I knew this earthquake is the fifth most powerful in history. Grade 8.8 on the Richter scale.
Most of my country is in the ground. And ugly things started to happen. People are very stressed. There are isolated places and have no water, no electricity. They began looting in the cities most affected. That gives me even more afraid that the earthquake itself.
*Hugs Jes really hard, but not too hard* Oh, Jes! We are soooo happy you are safe! We were all so worried about you! We hung together on the community last night to try and give each other hope and strength while we waited for news... I was just about to post a Gabriel pic for you when I saw your post! So glad your family and husband are safe, too! Stay strong, you will be reunited soon... Thank goodness for your Knight! :D
omg you're ok this entire community was so worried. im so sorry you must have been terrified im sooo happy that you and your family are ok. ATTACK HUG!!!! glad your ok we were all wondering and posting zach angels for you
I was so glad to hear the good news that you and your family are OK. Thank you for notifying us. I'm also glad you are still trying to contact Maria Jose. Hopefully she is OK too, but out of touch because the communications system is down.
Thank God for your safety. I am saddened to hear of those in your country who were harmed or worse.
Dear Jess, what a terrible night!!! I´m so glad you and your family are all right!!! We were so worried about you!!!
When I was in Santiago last year, our hotel had earthquake instructions that we didn´t take too seriously. You were clever to stay on the door way!
Oh sweety! I'm so glad that you are back! We're so worried about your safety. Hugs and kisses! Hope your husband returns to you very soon...
i am so so sorry:(
very happy that u and your family are safe though.
Glad to hear you and your family are safe!
Thank you, guys.
I really apreciate your thoughts, and good wishes.
Late to the party, but very glad you're ok.
I'll pick tornadoes over earthquakes any day. Been through both- earthquakes are much worse.
i just checked in and see that you are okay and your family as well. i'm so glad. i hope you and your husband can be reunited soon. take care.
Dear God, that must've been frightening to be all alone in the dark after the earthquake. So glad to hear you're okay as well as your family.
I'm so relieved that you and your family are OK. It must have been a frightful experience for you. All my best wishes.
SOOOoooooo glad that you are okay! Thank you for letting us know--we missed and worried about you.
I am really relieved and happy to hear about you, and hope that your husband is home soon.
Glad to hear you and your family are safe.
Our prayers with you!
Happy to hear you are OK! I'm sure your husband will be home soon, safe & sound.
