peru.jpgPeruanos all over the world are wracked with concern and worry following strong earthquakes (some news sources say it was one, others say there were two separate earthquakes). When I went to bed last night the quake(s), centered near the cities of Ica and Chincha, had claimed 50 some lives. This morning the death toll was up to 337 and expected to rise. The 7.9 magnitude earthquake prompted tsunami warnings in other neighboring South American nations like Chile.

Because of the magnitude of the quake, communication into Peru from worried friends and family outside the nation has proved nearly impossible.

Blessings and thoughts to all impacted by this natural disaster.
