Earthquake; we're all fine

A quick note: You might have heard that there was a magnitude 7.1 earthquake earlier this afternoon in Temuco, Chile. We're fine, though Lisa felt it, as she was inside at the time; the rest of us sitting in lawn chairs behind Luis and Monica's house didn't feel a thing. Temuco is about 250 miles north of us. As we understand it, there are no reports of injuries or damage and no concern about a tsunami. It says a lot for Chile's building codes - and the fortitude of its citizens!
