survived the earthquake

So there was a 7.1 magnitude earthquake last night in Honduras. I'm alive for anyone who heard it on the news and thought of me :)
In my area, all it did was wake people up, shake beds, and crack some important historical buildings. It was up on the north coast where the commercial capital and the tourist areas are that bridges collapsed, etc. I think the affects of the quake amplified because of the torrential rains we've been having. It's monsoon season and we get like a crazy downpour once every 3 days. But it's really warm so everything dries up really fast afterwards. Of course, those living on the edges of towns in the barely standing houses (I've seen them, it's really sad) are suffering.
I was thinking that my placement lacked resources and wondering how it ever managed to get by on donations. But when they were talking in class about being thankful for food and a roof over their heads, it humbled me that they were able to see the bright side of their situation.
