When the earthquake happened I was in Laguna de Zapallar with my family,it was my first day with them after my back-packing trip.
I was sleeping at the time of the quake, it wasn't a nice wake up. At first I was a little bit desorientated, because I woke up beliving I was in Temuco sleeping under a truck but then my mother screamed to me and just in that moment I realized that we where in an earthquake.
I think I reacted in a good way, beacause I tried to be in calm for my two little sisters; however, the people staying in the next house started to scream "a tidal wave, a tidal wave, run for your lives" and it was the same thing with the cops, so we went to the hills and stayed there for two and a half hours. After that, when we came back to the house, I started to feel anxiety because we where in a house only twenty meters away from the beach and the ocean was really heavy.
At other day I started to feel really insecure because we haven't recived any notice of our relatives, but when their started to phone us the situation started to calm down; however, we stayed two more days after the quake there because the highway was in bad conditions.It was a really terrible experience!
