My cousin rules

He's been adventuring in Chile for some time now.

I just recieved a message from my aunt letting us all know he's ok!


...Because communications are very difficult right now, he learned much of what he now knows about the earthquake and Tsunami from our 'chat'...

... Most roads are damaged and Tino wants the group to be heading North to pitch in, but they are stuck where they are about 400 miles south of the epicenter. They are still feeling after-shocks, but said that it's not too scary.

In true Tino fashion, he said that he was sleeping outside in a hammock when it happened and that he didn't notice as it probably rocked him into a deeper sleep! That's our son! We did say to each other that we couldn't imagine who we'd rather be with in this situation other than him. And it seems like he is tending quite thoughtfully to the kids and their communication w/ their families. They had to travel the overnight ferry last night and then drive two hours before they were significantly outside damage area w/ communication lines still up....
