a subversive act of playful cleverness

This is a quick report from Lima. It was a shocking time which caught most people coming back home, so you can imagine the jam and the issues on the streets, educational institutions (which really have very bad infrastructure for the most of them) and so. I did felt my building shaking under my feet.

The most affected city is Ica and the surrounding cities, since the epicenter was 45km from the shore. There has been building damages, and houses felt down, the reports are very bad. Till now there are almost 20 people passed away and 200 with injuries. It have affected some places in Lima too, some buildings have clashed and there's many energy issues and the whole telecommunications system have collapsed and by now is still coming back. President Garcia, have gone against telcos in his last appereance on national TV, since it's unacceptable to have this situation and have people freak out in desperation.

I'm not sure how the city will look today (16), the airport have suspended domestic flights and the common feeling is concern. I haven't seen people so worried in my life here. Two people have passed away due heart attack in Lima. Government have declared national emergency and the school classes have been suspended, emergency groups are departing Ica to help them out.

The has been an evacuation for people at La Punta, Callao. But they have ordered people to go back home, however they have been advised to be ready for evacuate to other places far from the coast. Authorities say that the sea is calm now and the tsunami alert has been deactivated and discarded so people there can go back home.

Now things are mostly calm, however according monitoring centers such seismon there's still activity, so we have to be alert. Let's hope those 3 ones after the main one, are enough to calm down the earth.

In this whole tragedy Internet has been working and being very important for communicating, text messaging was also working intermitently. I'm trying to give updates on my twitter's page. Update: News from Ica are getting worst, I take the ocasion to people from the international community to help to deal with this situation.
