" 12 days after the earthquake"

After 12 days of the earthquake of 8.8 degrees on the Richter scale, the situation in Chile is a little "calmer" and it is re-establishing the basic services, but not everywhere.
Approximately in 50%. Many families mainly in the north coast of conception lost everything. (Talcahuano, Tumbes, Penco, Lirquén, Dichato, Coliumo, Iloca, Constitution).
To date, the number of dead is 497.
Army forces still control the city and are not allowed to walk in the streets between 21:00 PM and 06:00 AM, unless one has a safe-conduct.
In Concepción, around of 6 to 10 buildings will have to be demolished and other 60 buildings have structural damages. It is not yet restored the sales in supermarkets.
We have a tremendous problem of connectivity between San Pedro de la Paz and Concepción. There is only one bridge operating, but with restrictions.
The other bridge will have to be demolished. Several streets have been destroyed and some roads are not operating.
We have to be very careful when we drive and the time takes much longer. For example when we cross the bridge, it takes around 1 hour and sometimes 2 hours.
Gradually, LAN flights are operating normally in both domestic and international flights. The port of San Vicente is already operating to foreign trade. Public transport is returning to "normal".
The hard part is that we still have strong aftershocks in our areas devastated.
Despite all this my spirit is to go forward against all the adversities.
