A place to find this kind of info.(if you need it again) might be shoa.cl (the naval hydrographic and oceanographic service).

Nice, thanks. Thunderbird has fairly stupid search features. Please post that to the wiki, even after the current situation it will be super useful.
How does it work on 40+ gigs of email?

We have photos and a list of dead in dichato, and our member ( thankfully ) is not on it:

The photos are scary however.

Once we find him, we are going need to get him and whole lot of other people a new house.

So sorry, all, for the lateness of my sounding off. I find myself o/o/country, with concerns, prayers, and heartfelt expectations for the immediate rescue of our fellow Chileans still in need.
Thanks otravers for this posting. Feeling distant, unconnected, and removed from the obvious suffering and loss, yet thankful for the limited loss of life that could have resulted.
Hope that 1000 yard stare will be replaced with the glint of wonder and joy in living, and that all will begin making the most of their limited moments, forgiving those offenders and offenses of the past, and mending broken fences, bridges, lines of communication, and praying all will remain safe throughout any remaining aftershocks.
Sincerely,

G

Tom hutton just called. He is alive and in Santiago. He will check in as soon as he can on the forum.

That's excellent news.

Also OK, via PM:

Great news about Tom,
I'm not in Chile, but will post that the family and property are all fine!

Looking at the list from a different angle (sorted by highest number of posts to find oldtimers missing), I see that RWS has not come here for a good while. Had he moved to Chile yet?

I believe RWS is still outside the country.

The first three people in my post are the most likely to need help. There's a bunch of people in Santiago but purely from a numbers perspective they're less likely to be in a really bad shape. I've emailed some people with a high post count who haven't checking in recently too.

Just left RWS a voicemail to please check in. I'm pretty sure that he is still in the US. Thanks Charles & everyone else who has been helping, the true colors of this group shine right on through. Some inconvenience aside, our people in Vina & Santiago are AOK fine, for which we are most thankful.

Vicky and Greg are fine. They are the other direction.

All OK here, Gracias a Dios!
