Power of the quake by Natalia Holvova

I love catastrophic movies. Not that I am person who enjoys destroying things but the tenseness and expecting of the right solution is like a magnet that keeps me watching. You cannot leave before they find out the solution how to save the world and you can peacefully sleep in your bed again. Sometimes I am thinking what would really happen if this kind of catastrophe appear in the area where I live. Would we find a hero who would fix it for us? Would we be able to save as much as possible and as many people as we could? There is thousands of news in the daily press about terrible weather disasters and hundreds of people fighting for their dear lives. Chile is one of the countries where earthquakes are not unusual natural phenomenon. The strongest and the most powerful quake of the 20th century in the world took place in this South American country. Even though people are used to strange weather features life's loss can be incredibly sad and hard to deal with. A lot of people suffer from home loss and they loose all their possessions, objects that remind them who they are and where they come from. If life is the only thing that left, you don't care about anything else at that moment. After that the reality shows up. People are not able to live on the streets for ever. They need houses they need homes and assurance that they are safe. I can hardly imagine how can those people depending on governmental or charity help in Chile right now live after all quake consequences are gone…
