8.0 Earthquake. Here I am thanking my lucky stars that I left Peru before the big one. One of our adventure group members, Brian, remained in Peru wanting more of an adventure. Ha. He might now have more than he bargained for.
It seemed like every building in Peru was half finished, giving us a really good look at the construction process. Reinforcements, rebar, steel, etc. was minimal to nonexistent. Outside of the major cities, construction is still mud bricks and adobe. I expect the earthquake damage to be significant, which will be devastating to so many who already live on the edge in a country where the infrastructure is sadly lacking.
