President Michelle Bachelet confirmed 47 deaths, saying more were possible. Telephone and power lines were down, making a quick damage assessment difficult in the early morning darkness. At least 11 aftershocks were reported, including one registering at 6.9 on the Richter scale. |

| Her phone just died, and there's no power to charge it. I'm sure she's fine. |

plus the cell towers are probably ed up, or too many people are trying to call and the system is overloaded. |
