As you all may know, the earthquake that hit 2 days ago the city of Pisco, in Peru, has left about 500 persons dead, over 1,500 injured and thousands without a home. Pisco is a small fishermen town about 3 1/2 hours from Lima, the capital city. These hard working people have been left homeless and shocked with grief, having to identify their children among the bodies piling up at the Main Plaza.

FYI - I am making this blog public because I am curious to see if anyone else on Teamsugar experienced this.
When I was getting up this morning to come to work (approx. 5:38am EST) I was in my bedroom walk in closet and I heard something loud what seemed like to me very heavy hail or something on top of our house.
