"Ring Of Fire" Erupts In Chile, Much Destruction!

[wisgrdnr]

Today, I sadly must write, as I sit in a Bocas del Toro, Panama hotel that the "Ring of Fire" Earthquake Zone (or as it is called in Spanish; a zona de tierramoto, as I learned watching CNN en Español.) This 8.6 quake was 100 to 200 times more vicious than the recent quake centered just off Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.

Chile´s death toll has exceeded 200 (and surely will grow as search teams delve into rubble even more extensively,) but obviously, the toll of carnage was much worse in Haiti due to its location on land, and Haiti´s miserable building codes. Chile is indeed most fortunate due to the epicenter´s location and fairly stringent codesfor its cities´edifices.

Is this a signal of more activity in the so-called "Ring of Fire"? Quite possibly as the stress zone was only partially relieved by the 400 mile underwater fracture.

Stay tuned to TWG and of course, your television media, for more reports.

Godspeed to all; may the earth recede to a long mode of peaceful tectonic activity. This is what I hope for at any rate.

BTW: good reports from www.TropicRiverWoods.com The land is responding and IS NOW a truly recreated bosque tropicales! I have not seen the property in about a year due to health issues.

It looks fantastico! I STILL utilise conventional film processing, so will have to wait till Walgreens´Drugstore back in Florida, develops my photo CD. I think that they will be worth the wait (from what I´ve seen today (and will see again, tomorrow!

Pablito, signing out!
Have a nice weekend, y´all from NW Panama!
