Sunday Morning - Another Strong Aftershock May 2, 2010

We experienced another strong aftershock on Sunday morning at 10:53 AM local time ....  a 5.8 magnitude.    This one caused a gentle, slow, back and forth movement of our entire home, and it was not even in our Bio-Bio region of Chile!   It was to the north in the Maule region, but still scary here.

Two New Aftershocks this Morning - April 29, 2010

We have felt two new aftershocks this morning  - the first one was at 0356 AM local time here in Chile and was a 5.1 magnitude, the next one was at 0940 AM local time and measured 4.9.  We felt both of these at our home in the Bio-Bio region near Chillan, just some shaking and rattling but thankfully no damage! The more recent 4.9 aftershock actually felt stronger because the epicenter was only about 25 miles from our home.
