February 27th earthquake... Was terrible.
I was in Las Cruces beach, working during the summer. Only 3 days left and we can come back to Santiago.
At 3:34:17, I was sleeping whit my girlfriend and when the movement started I don´t have any idea about what was happenning. Just a moment and we started to hear our workmates screaming and calling us outside. We get some clothes and get out the room; everybody was runing, and we try to do it too, but the gate was closed and we can´t find the keys in the dark [when the earthquake started the ligths go out]; finally we open it, and go up to the hill, only whit a blanket and the money [me girlfriend and I was in charge of the money, a lot of...].
We wait a few hours, until a police patrol told us about the negative of a Tsunami; we went to the beach again [we stay near the beach, too near].
We wait all day long, because there was no comunication or transport, but finaly we came back to Santiago.
The next summer we work here, just in case...
