Catastrophes last night and more so this morning.

Last night I heard the twiit from my whatsApp. I checked it and I had a message and a picture that Dixie, my best friend, had taken of Humberto with his new born grandson. The picture and messages were from Ecuador, where Andrés, their son, lives with his wife. A second later, another whatsApp. "We are allright. No electricity in most of the country. Earthquake 7.8 Richter." Wow! It chilled me, more so because outside rain came over my house in buckets. I went to sleep. This morning I turned on the TV on news. Santiago, my Santiago, was flooded. There were 5 million people with no water here and besides that, the heavy rain plus some unfinished works near the river had caused the river to overflow and many street to collapse. The city is a mess. From the news I gathered that the damages would be great although we don´t know yet the end of this as it is still raining and it won´t stop until after midday. Tomorrow I have dentist, but I will cancell it. Nature is not behaving here
