Updated post from my myspace:

There was an earthquake in Peru, S of Lima . It registered at 8.0 magnitude (plus many aftershocks of 4.5-6.8 magnitude) and there has been over 500 deaths and over 1,500 injuries reported.
I have heard from my dad, family and close friends and they are fine.
Thank you to everyone for your concern.

Please keep everyone affected by this in your thoughts and prayers.
