Santiago 2 days later

This is just going to be a quick update. We were woken up on Sunday around 8am to another aftershock. That was the second aftershock over 6.0 that we've had. There have been some more minor rumblings since then, but you get used to it. This morning we had our windows open and a large truck went speeding by and since our road is cobblestone it sounded like our building was shaking. I was getting used to the earthquake alarm clock but this time it was just pretend.

Santiago has pretty much gone back to normal. Everyone is back at work (except for us teachers), most of the metro is up and running, and people are going about their business as usual. School has been postponed until the start of next week and tutoring will start around the same time.

Some people still have lots of repairs to do to their homes, some people still don't have homes, and a lot of business are still cleaning up glass and debris.

A few ATMs are back online, but it looks like Bank of Chile is running while Santender (the other Santiago bank) still is out of order. I went and withdrew a bunch of cash in case anything happens to go wrong.

Last night we got our gas turned back on so we finally took some showers this morning because we have hot water now! Our stove also is back on so we don't have to rely on the microwave anymore.

This was Saturday morning at the gas station near our apartment. A relatively small line compared to what it had been before. The lines stretched for a few blocks and lasted all day/night.

The map at Los Leones metro station broke.

There are a lot of pictures of this church on the news. This is the most severe damage we have seen. There are some areas of Santiago that are reportedly pretty bad but we haven't seen them.

Sectioned off part of Baquendo metro station with emergency lights still on. Some of the metro lines are still closed for repair.

It looks like the supermarkets are starting to get stocked back up. People are still sucking them dry today. I'll post some more photos as we take them.
