I remember that during the afternoon that the earthquake happened I spend all day at my department with my parents. They were travelling around the 4th region by car, and before they return to Iquique the last stop was Santiago.
At night, around ten or ten thirty, I meet with some friends to go to a classmate home that were going to celebrate his birthday, so we went there to celebrate.
Before that the earthquake starts I was sitting I the front yard talking with some classmates. At first I thought that was a slow movement that was going to past quickly. But it started to move stronger and the light turn off. The only thing that I could think while this was happening was in my parents, they were sleeping in the 17th floor. I was so afraid for them. I took my cell phone the fast that I could and I wait that the movement stops. I call immediately and I could communicate with them, there were ok. After an hour I return to my home and met my parents.
