I was reading the national news today when I discovered that we had had a 5.5 Richter earthquake a few hours from away from where I live.
In Santiago, the earthquake was just grade 2 and at night. I was sound asleep and was not aware of it.
I imagine that at some places this quake would be noticed. Not here. we need a much bigger one to be afraid.

@KristenH I feel it was such a shame that I even posted about this when I compare it to Mexico´s new earthquake.

@LadyDuck The last one in Mexico was 7.1 Richter and at least 40 buildings crumbled in Mexico City.

@marguicha This is what I understood. In Mexico they had another very powerful one.
