Chile Earthquake 8.8 Security Cam for 90 sec

Francisco “Pancho” Ovalle, a full-time youth coach who works for La Roca Soccer Club in northern Utah, was spending the night at a friend’s seventh-floor apartment near downtown Santiago when the rumbling started.

A native Chilean who is accustomed to occasional small temblors, Ovalle remembered the quake’s initial wave feeling fairly mild. Seconds later, the shaking turned violent.

Ovalle was terrified.

“It was the worst experience of my life,” he said. “I thought I was going to die.”

Ovalle said his fear was exacerbated by the screams erupting from neighboring apartments.

“I could hear people yelling and crying out, ‘Please make it stop,’ ” he said.

Power was lost immediately, Ovalle said, leaving the Chilean capital largely in the dark. He rushed outside, jumped in a friend’s car and made his way through the panic and sudden traffic to his mother’s home nearby. She was fine.

Communication also proved problematic. Ovalle was unable to make phone contact with his worried wife, Trellis, at their Farmington home until hours after the quake.

When daylight arrived, he visited other sections of Santiago with his brother. In one poor section of the city, Ovalle saw collapsed buildings and overturned cars. One local hospital suffered severe damage.

Ovalle said the police and fire departments were working hard to preserve order in Santiago and head off looting.

“The people on TV were telling everyone to stay home and let (the police and fire departments) do their job,” he said.

Ovalle said he was relieved that his family in Chile had plenty of water and other provisions. Food and emergency items in the local grocery stores disappeared quickly, and some stores were forced to close.

The Farmington man’s heart was still racing hours after the early morning earthquake. He’d counted 43 aftershocks.

“The floor moves every 10 minutes,” he said.

At 3:30 a.m. Saturday, Erika Villarreal woke up to the earth shaking around her.

She grabbed her husband, Christhian Tomaduz, their children, 3-year-old Lucas and 4-year-old Micaela, and Tomaduz’s mother, Gloria Auguita, and huddled under a door frame of their Santiago home.

Around them they heard furniture crashing to the floor and plates shattering. “The whole earth was moving a lot, and we couldn’t walk,” Tomaduz told the Deseret News via an online chat. “We really thought everything was going down.”

Even though they were nearly 200 miles from where the magnitude-8.8 earthquake struck Chile Saturday morning, the family and millions of others awoke with a jolt and now wait to find out how much damage was done.

“We felt like waves under our feet,” said Tomaduz, who served a mission in Santiago for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and now lives there with his family. “It was horrible. … I don’t ever want to live that again. We are OK, thank God, but very scared.”

The building Tomaduz and his family live in survived, but Tomaduz said not all the surrounding buildings in Maipu, in the southwestern part of Santiago, were so lucky. Tomaduz’s uncle lost his TV and fridge after the quake shook his 21st-floor apartment. Dirt houses collapsed, and bridges in Santiago are down.

“You don’t have any idea what it feels like when the whole world is moving,” he said. “I don’t wish it on anybody. … I thought everything was going to be destroyed. I cannot explain in words how the house was moving. It was terrible.”

Luisana Navarro, 25, was at a birthday party in Santiago with her boyfriend when the quake hit.

“I felt a quake,” Navarro said. “It was very strong. It was terrible.”

The birthday party was outside, so no one was injured by the few things that fell. But Navarro finds little comfort in that. She has heard nothing from some of her family.

“I am fine in Santiago, but I am very concerned about my father in Rauco (a three-hour drive south of Santiago), where everything is supposedly destroyed,” she said. “It’s been difficult. … Seeing the news makes me sad.”

Navarro, a member of the LDS Church, can’t travel to her father because of road damage.

This story was reported from Salt Lake City.

The quake, one of the biggest ever measured, struck just after 3:30 a.m. local time, toppling buildings, collapsing roads and cutting off power and telecommunications services. At least ten aftershocks hit the region in the hours after the initial quake—felt 2,000 miles away in Sao Paulo, Brazil—and waves that swelled more than six feet above their normal height battered the country’s long coastline, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake drove panicked residents, many jarred awake, into chilly pre-dawn streets. As daylight broke the extent of the devastation became evident.

As much as 80% of some towns in the coastal Maule region was destroyed by the shock or consequent waves, government officials said. Many of the dead were trapped in wreckage as their homes collapsed around them, while others succumbed to heart attacks brought on by fright.

“Unfortunately, we found whole families buried in the rubble,” said Alejandro Boettiger, a firefighter from Talca, a city roughly 250 kilometers south of Santiago. An exhausted Boettiger spoke as he carried an elderly woman who was suffering from shock out of her badly damaged apartment building.

Earthquakes are not uncommon to Chile, a long, mountainous country nestled between the towering Andes and the Pacific Ocean. Some of the strongest seismic activity ever recorded has occurred here. Still, Saturday’s quake was the worst in 50 years and government officials cautioned the disaster-shattered country that it will be days before the full impact can assessed and life can begin returning to normalcy.

In a nationally televised address, President Michelle Bachelet said at least 80% of Chile’s population of roughly 16 million had been affected by the quake and called on citizens to use water, electricity and fuel rationally as the government tried to determine the extent of the destruction.

“It is still not possible to fully quantify the effects of this catastrophe,” a visibly tired but calm Bachelet said. “We are trying by every means possible to bring the country back to normal.”

That may take time. Long lines quickly developed at the few gas stations open around the country, and indications emerged that some in Chile were using the disaster to jack up the price of staples, like bread. Some reports said bread was selling for as much as 10,000 pesos per kilogram, ten times the usual price at bakeries.

The quake was massive and felt some 2,000 miles away in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The epicenter was pinpointed offshore, 70 miles northeast of Concepción, Chile’s second-biggest city.

Even Santiago, the capital located 200 miles away, was affected by the temblor. An overpass collapsed, leaving a car dangling from it, while the parking lot of a two-story apartment building was demolished, setting of car alarms that rang through the rubble.

At the Four Points hotel in the city’s Providencia neighborhood, the quake began with a small vibration that quickly surged into a violent shake, knocking lamps off tables and artwork off the walls. Tourists fled the hotel via a stairwell as water cascaded into the building through cracks in its shattered rooftop. Outside, tourists gathered in the dark while revelers poured out of nightclubs.

Beyond the city, Rafael Galleguillos, on the verge of tears, said he had no idea how he survived a plunge off the side of an overpass that had collapsed on a highway that linked the country’s international airport with the capital. A total of seven cars fell off the edge of the overpass, Galleguillos said.

After the drivers helped one another escape from the wreckage, Galleguillos complained that the overpass hadn’t weathered the quake. “You pay tolls and taxes and you expect safety,” he said.

Observers said Chile was up to the task of rebuilding. With its healthy economy and strong government institutions, the country can respond in ways that other countries, like Haiti, which also suffered a massive earthquake in January, couldn’t.

“Chile would be more comparable to Japan or California than Haiti,” Patricio Navia, a Chilean political scientist at New York University.

In addition to mounting casualties, authorities will assess significant damage to roadways, ports, and other major infrastructure essential to a country that ranks as the world’s biggest exporter of copper, a major producer of other metals and minerals. The government asked residents and tourists not to travel, even from quake-stricken regions, because people attempting to return to Santiago were causing massive traffic jams and damage to roads.

“Road damage was worse than what I expected,” said Sergio Bitar, Chile’s public works minister, at a press conference.

Bachelet, who is in her final weeks in office, has proven herself to be at her best when the going gets tough, having orchestrated a strong response by Chile to the global economic crisis that erupted in 2008. She and her successor, Sebastián Piñera, scheduled to take office March 11, are working coordinate the change in government so as not to disrupt recovery efforts.

After the quake, the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a “widespread” tsunami warning for all Pacific nations, saying that “sea level readings indicate a tsunami was generated” that “could have been destructive along coasts near the earthquake epicenter and could also be a threat to more distant coasts.”

As the surge from the quake rolled across the ocean, residents of coastlines where it could hit were preparing for the swell. In Hawaii, where the first waves were expected before mid-day local time, lines formed at supermarkets, as people stocked up on water, food, and batteries.

In Ecuador, up South America’s west coast from Chile, President Rafael Correa told local media that a tsunami had passed the Galapagos Islands, causing a swell but no damage.

Local television in Chile reported that the main international airport in Santiago would be closed for the next 72 hours because of damage. Flights were being diverted to Mendoza, in Argentina, and other airports in the region. Mines in the country, including crucial copper facilities, were affected by the quake.

Though the larger mines north of Santiago were still operating, Corporacion Nacional del Cobre, or Codelco, said two mines in southern Chile would be closed until at least Monday. Work at the El Teniente and Andina mines, said a spokeswoman, was suspended because electricity to them has been cut. Miners were also allowed to return home to check on family members.

Much of the fixed-line and mobile telephone systems in the south of the country were disrupted by the earthquake, although there was a “gradual recovery,” said Rene Cortazar, transport and communications minister, speaking on local television. Where systems are working there is significant congestion, the minister said, urging people not to use their phones unless it was absolutely necessary.

In Santiago, the Metro subway system was shut down and very few buses were running through the streets. One taxi driver, who had driven through the eastern and southern neighborhoods of the capital, said many of the older houses, especially those made of adobe, were decimated.

“It was a really horrible sight,” he said.

In the old center of Curico, a small town in the hard-hit coastal region of Maule, nearly a third of the colonial style buildings were severely damaged. Older brick and adobe buildings were especially susceptible to the force of the temblor, the worst to hit the country since a 9.5-magnitude earthquake shook Chile in 1960. That quake was the strongest ever recorded.

Chilean Red Cross workers started relief efforts in Curico, taping off sidewalks surrounding the buildings and warning residents that danger still existed. “Stay away from the buildings,” an unidentified Red Cross worker said. “I don’t want to have to dig anyone else out of here.”
