Our Rotary student, Beto had a very traumatic morning last Sunday. He was woken with the news that Chile had suffered a 8.8 earthquake. He managed to contact the Chilean Embassy in Wellington, who told him his city Ranagcua, had been devastated, and there was no contact in or out of the city. It was a long wait on Sunday morning until Beto had a call from his father. All his family were safe, but every window in their house was broken and his grand parent’s apartment floor had fallen in. Using Facebook and Skype, Beto has managed to track down all his friends (who were partying when the earthquake struck at 3.34 am!) It is a very difficult time to be so far away from his family at such a time.

   There have been quite a few earthquakes in Cali as of recent. I know that they say that this is typical and normal behavior, although honestly it just isn’t. Has there ever been a time recently with such prominent earthquakes? Maybe but the fact is that they are for sure not as many nor as major as the ones like Haiti and other felt around the world. I’m wondering if 2012 isn’t exactly a myth?
