This video will be quite different from the usual
It will be much more personal
Usually I'm always telling them things that happen in my life
and this is one of the great things that have happened in my life and I have not counted.
So it feels like, do not know, weird.
So this video is called:
"My experience with Earthquakes"
You probably already know,
but I am from Chile, most seismic country in the world.
Aha, the very first.
In a list of wikipedia of the strongest earthquakes in the history of mankind
we can see that Chile is first with a 9.5 earthquake,
and we are part several times in the same list.
So earthquakes and earthquakes
They are not very rare here.
So these are my experiences with them
Earthquake Number 1:
This was many years ago. I was 13 or 14 years or so.
I woke up one day and I went to regular school super.
Lalalalala
It was at school in a class of arts, and my room was on the third floor of the school.
More or less serious as the number 7th floor of a normal building.
They were ... high classrooms.
I was nervous because I had to deliver a painting that was not finished. If not made and finished fast I was going to fail.
So there I was painting quickly.
After much effort I finished my painting.
But he had to wait for the paint to dry in order to deliver the work,
so I do not think of anything better than to stand with my drawing on the classroom door
waiting to dry.
*whoosh*
While I was outside the room waiting for my drawing dry
The earthquake as begin.
Probably many of you have not experienced an earthquake.
Perhaps an earthquake yes, but not an earthquake.
More or less to give you an idea, it would be something like this:
So basically I was at the door of my room as the earthquake began.
He was unreacted as a medium in shock,
and suddenly I turn around, I see all children
running towards me and they were like woooow
So we went all running and went to the "safe zone" on the third floor of the school.
I say this in quotes because no area is safe in an earthquake.
Even on the third floor of the school we were waiting for the earthquake stop,
basically we were talking among ourselves to calm down and that we should not despair.
But there were children crying, screaming everywhere. It was chaos.
I thought at that moment: "hm, the teacher will know what to do."
So I started looking with the saw to view the group of people who were there the teacher
So when I look down and I see the running on the first floor straight towards the exit teacher.
More or less my reaction was something like:
Son of a...
But the earthquake still did not stop, the children began running towards the exit.
But my and a small group of friends decided to wait for the earthquake stopped.
It could be very dangerous down stairs in an earthquake.
You can fall and stick on the head,
so basically we were there a couple of seconds.
But finally the earthquake would not seem to stop at any time,
so we have to go down lose or yes.
and basically we have two options ...
give a giant lap around the school to reach the first floor and exit
(Which is basically would the long way)
or down a staircase that opened directly to the first floor and exit
(Which it was obviously the short way).
So we said "Hey let the short way" so we were about to reach the ladder to start down
when we saw that basically fell off the wall and covered the entrance to the staircase and were like:
"Eh ... Better on the other side ... Yes, better"
So the only option we had was the long way.
First he had to go through quite a long hallway taking care that nothing will fall on the head
Then down stairs a much shorter but still dangerous because it remains an earthquake and you can fall
And then at the moment the earthquake began to spend a little and began to be much smoother
And at least it was a little easier to walk and move
And then finally we got to the last part of the way to leave the school.
That was a kind of corridor that was next to a school building
The downside of this building that was across the hall was that it had too many windows
And in an earthquake it is very likely to start breaking glasses and begin to fall
And be walking and you drop a glass on the head can obviously be pretty bad
So we have to move forward glued to the other side of the aisle
As far as possible the building, like a
While next they fall a lot of small pieces of glass but in the end we did
Then we came to check out and our parents were waiting for us
And in the end we are all safe, then I get home and glasses were broken
The furniture was on the floor
Basically everything was broken
But the good thing is that in the end nothing serious step
I mean, you just were lost materials
I mean, things were
And that was my first earthquake
And eye is the smoothest I've lived
So now we go to the next.
Earthquake number 2. I was in my house
we watching TV with my family, all very normal and after a while we went to sleep
like any other day. And approximately
the four of morning is when the earthquake starts.
this earthquake was even stronger than before. Earthquake
the earthquake started smooth and then it started increasing
The trouble is that I did not wake when the earthquake was starting,
I woke up when the earthquake was too strong.
My mother and my brother woke up first so they were down from the second floor to the first floor.
I was on the first floor but was still just awakening, so as I was still as: Ooooh,
I did not understand anything.
It was like: AAAAA, what? what's up? aaaaaa
Usually in an earthquake we recommend you not leave the house
because on the street you can drop a pole or light cable may be loose and you can electrocute, etc.
Or basically anything you can fall on your head.
But this time the earthquake was so great that it seemed that the house was going to fall, so I had to leave.
So there we were all three trying to go out the kitchen door, on the back of the house.
I swear that the earthquake was so strong that basically had to dodge the refrigerator.
The earthquake was so strong that basically moved the refrigerator from side to side as if he were alive or walking.
I know it seems pretty hard to believe, but believe me when an earthquake is like this:
absolutely everything is moving.
So basically we had to wait for the refrigerator were moving to the side to run out the door,
because if you get to crush the refrigerator was not very good honestly.
My mother could was trying to get the key in the door to get out,
basically in an earthquake it is as difficult as putting the thread in a needle.
When we finally managed to open the door, we get out.
I remember my brother basically came out first and went to a corner,
and I and my mother went out after trying not to fall in the earthquake.
At that time I only saw my brother's face looking something like:
The point is that at that time a tile had fallen from my house very close to mine.
More or less you understand, say it was a piece of stone of this size more or less
which she fell basically going centimeters by my side.
At that time I kept walking as I could, I looked back and said Woooou, that was close.
At that time the earthquake had no intention to stop, so basically we went to the corner of the place and stayed there, holding each other.
Literally we have absolutely nothing to do but wait.
And the earthquake did not seem to basically were holding the contrary, seemed to be towards getting stronger.
At that time we were all three embraced, affirmed only with a wall to fall down.
At that time the eyes closed and we were affirming to the wall, when suddenly ... the wall falls.
Let me put it this way:
when you're in the middle of an earthquake and everything moves, do not understand anything and these panicking and fear, basically,
and all you have is a wall to steady himself. I mean, all solid at this point that represents in some way or another security; that you drop,
and at that moment you feel that all you have to do is wait. I mean, you can die or you can save.
no longer it depends on you. I mean, you no longer have control of the situation at all.
Already at that time does not make sense to run, it makes no sense to hide,
the only thing you can do is ... wait.
When the earthquake is so strong and has no intention of stopping just you stay there, you say:
ok, here it comes, is over, I will die here.
But after a while the earthquake began to stop and began to feel a horrible silence in the city.
He could hear as the whole city was quiet and in shock. And then slowly you start to hear the sirens of the police,
firefighters; basically it's like a movie.
And after a while we went out into the street and we started to find neighbors, we were seeing that all were well.
At that time obviously it had no light, the light had been cut, so all we could do was listen to the radio through a set radio battery
to know what was happening in the country.
And, supposedly at that time he had already passed the "worst" apparently. But no.
Here begins the part I remember most personally in this earthquake:
for me the most terrible in this earthquake was not directly the earthquake,
but that was what happened next.
From that day the light was cut and water cut. We fortunately after the earthquake all we did was fill bottles with water
because we know that water could be cut. On the street you could see a lot of families who were out on the street because they were afraid to enter their houses.
After an earthquake, no one wants to enter your home because you feel in trauma.
At that time you forget to take a shower, basically it is incredibly difficult to go to the bathroom.
Definitely you do not want to be in the shower and you touch again an earthquake.
The serious problem started when we began to hear rumors the next day.
Usually in an earthquake people help each other and we care basically between us,
but there is always a group of people who basically takes advantage of the situation.
They take advantage of the chaos and take advantage basically people are with low defenses
to start stealing.
So all the men in the neighborhood had to take turns to patrol the streets.
All grab irons, knives, basically anything to protect,
basically because the police were too busy dealing with much more important issues.
So basically we had to take care of ourselves. For a period of two weeks the area where I lived felt like a war.
At the entrances of the condominium there were people standing guard around a campfire and the walls had people patrolling around
basically also doing guard.
For a few days everything was fine and quiet, apart from following dealing day and night tremors,
because it always after a huge earthquake followed by several tremors.
Basically about five or ten tremors a day.
I do not say this as very important, because after the earthquake as the tremors are secondary
One night we began to hear noises in our neighborhood,
so we all went running towards a wall to see what was happening,
and we could see in the neighborhood of the front and had people who were stealing.
We could see from afar that also had people with sticks making guard.
Fortunately in our neighborhood he reached not pass anything very serious,
occasionally reaches one other but as they saw that we were so many people who were defending the end they left.
At the end the most disturbing was the constant fear first of all tremors and someone to mess your house.
And basically be dealing with day and night tremors did not let you sleep peacefully so we slept two or three hours a day.
Have no light and no water did not help much.
And finally after two weeks back light and water and everything returned to normal.
Now we finally see the news and learn what really had happened.
To our surprise, the earthquake had happened in our city was not even news.
In the news after two weeks later we learned that in another city, apart from dealing with the earthquake, they had to deal with a tsunami.
Everything horrible that we had lived with the earthquake, with thieves, with the power outage,
it was nothing compared to what other people were living at the time: an entire city destroyed by a tsunami. People lost their homes and lost their lives
I'm telling you how I personally experienced the earthquake,
but it was horrible hearing two weeks later on television that he was living, basically, it was nothing compared to what other people were living.
Well, I wanted to share this not very happy story.
I've told so many things in my life that sincerame not have told this felt like a little weird.
It would be great to say that such things will not happen again, but that would be lying.
It is very likely to happen again, not just once but several times, but ... but still standing.
Well guys, this was a somewhat different video, I know,
I do not know, I felt I had to tell this little part of my life that I had not told them.
I send a psychological giant hug and see you on Friday for a video as normal as always.
Do not forget to subscribe to my games channel called JuegaGerman in youtube.com/JuegaGerman,
there I upload videos every day. In fact the last time I was recording a video for this channel and basically was recording and began to shake,
I said, Ah, I think it is shaking.
And I read a lot of comments that you were saying: Oh, how it trembles and German basically does not react or does not care.
I imagine that after this story will understand why a tremor for us and it's like meh...
Anyway. Well guys, take care much, see you on Friday for a new video and normal and nothing more; I love them, take care. * Applause * bye bye.
