RE: Hurricane Season? - Not in Chile, Where We Never Have Them
No hurricaines in Chile but I think I'd prefer one of those than an earthquake or a volcano going off. My little sister is in Santiago right now and she tells me they have very good marihuana laws.
Really? Chile has the strongest builodings in the world Just consider that we have had (since 2010) three major quakes of 8.8, 8.3 and 8.4. respectively There was some damage and especially in the first of these some deaths (partly due to tsunami deaths after the government passed along bad information). Volcanes have little effect on Chile since prevailing winds send 98% of the trouble to Argentina. In terms of natural disasters, just about any other place in the world is more dangerous than Chile, Paraguay excepted.
You are not the first person who has said to me Paraguay is pretty safe in this respect.
