Report from Concepción

From Gilberto:
We have spent the last two days around Concepción where water and restaurants are still lacking. We have been fortunate to stay with "friends of friends" and had good meals. We are now in Chillán, which is northeast of Concepción but in much better shape. We missed the big aftershocks today since we were far to the south, but have felt many aftershocks. For the large ones, we were on a boat examining an isolated pier, then noticed everyone running as the port was evacuated and a tsunami warning was issued. We slowly made it back to shore and headed uphill along with the residents. Certainly an interesting experience.
