A Tsunami Did Hit Pueco, Located at 6 Miles from Concepcion

After the 8.8 quake hit parts of Chile, especially Parral, Talca and Concepcion, the community of Pueco was flooded by giant waves that destroyed homes and property.  Tons of debris also washed ashore.

All over Concepcion and nearby areas, rescue operations are under way.  It is a race against time as rescue workers are trying to find people burried under debris.  More and more rescuers are coming in from other countries such as Mexico.

Authorities are trying hard to keep calm.  Chileans with money can not enter a store to buy foods.  The result is looting by many who have to act to put food in their belly.

People are too afraid to stay inside homes that were destroyed by the quake.  They are sleeping in their cars or under tents planted anywhere there is a green spot.
