Dude, there was an earthquake last night! It was crazy, we were all asleep and then at 2:25 everything started shaking. It only lasted a few seconds, long enough to wake us all up. Nothing was damaged here, but in other parts of the country (in the north) some roads got busted up and a bridge fell at Puente la Democracia; the entire middle part of it just fell off into the water. They've declared one death so far. The epicenter was about 65 or so miles off the north coast, and it was a 7.1 on the richter scale. Everything's cool though with us, we're gonna head to the seminary today.
