Earthquake...

12:15 PM
We just had an earthquake. I´m fine. I don´t know how bad it was. My phone doesn´t work. I´ll write more later.

1:15 PM
I just got more info...

"We had a 6.2 "temblor" (not an earthquake which is known as a "terremoto"). It's was off the coast of Sonsonate in the same area as last weeks. Cell phones are jammed (as usual) after one of these as everyone immediately calls home to check on houses, kids, etc. It will clear in a bit."

They're reporting here that it was a 6.2 and the states are reporting 5.8. Here are 2 links about what's going on:

My family just called me and informed me that everyone is evacuating from our community. I don't know what that means about all the people who are there from other communities. I will continue updating this site as I find out more information.

Tim (the author of the blog I mentioned the other day) has some good information on his blog about this whole incident. Click on "El Salvador News" on the right side of this screen to get more information on what is going on.
