Yes, very shocking.
I hate earthquakes, specially since the last earthquake I´ve experienced. It was on 2007, I´ve been traveling quite much the last few years but in that time I was here, in Peru. It was like 19:00 and I was driving home with my girlfriend and I stopped on a red light. Then I realised that the car was shaking; I confirmed it was an earthquake since I saw people leaving their houses and screaming. Since the earthquake didn´t seem to stop soon, I passed the red light because I was only at 6 or 7 blocks from home. Another street light; I saw it shaking like if it was made of paper, I passed it too since I thought it was gonna fall at anytime. When I was arriving home we got a total blackout, people were frightened.
Phone lines didn´t work until the next day. Luckily, no major damages and no people injured in Lima.
At the next day we knew that at small country-side town at the south of Lima called Pisco had been completely destroyed. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.3 in Lima and 8.5 in Pisco. Not sure but I think almost 5 thousand people died on that town.
Since that day I panic only thinking about earthquakes. The last year (2008) I´ve been living in Brazil and I still had some nightmares about that earhquake.
