爱思英语编者按：在夜间里氏8.8级地震袭击了智利后，在这里地震幸存者谈到了他们的恐惧。在接进于地震第一次发生的时候，在康塞普西翁几乎没有任何的报告，虽然初次报告说这个城市是“被毁坏”同时现在看起来“就像一个战场”。
Few reports have surfaced from Concepcion, close to where the earthquake first struck, though initial reports say the city is "devastated" and now looks "like a war zone".
One witness, Macarena Railef, said the force of the quake was overwhelming even far from its epicentre.
"I was in La Serena, a city located about 700 kilometres from Concepcion, but still, it was the worst thing I"ve felt.
"And about 10 minutes after the quake stopped, the lights in all the city died, and everything turned to darkness.
"The stop lights didn"t work, and people started driving to high lands fearing a tsunami."
Another man from Temuco, around 200 miles from the epicentre, told local television: "Never in my life have I experienced a quake like this, it"s like the end of the world."更多信息请访问：http://www.24en.com/
One reporter from the French news agency AFP said that buildings in the capital Santiago "shook like jelly".
A witness in Santiago called Enzo said: "There"s still no news from the epicentre. The city is mute, there"s no internet nor telephone connection.
"With the main highway cut off, there"s no connection to the rest of the country. And still I know nothing of my family in Concepcion."
Former American Idol singer Elliott Yamin, who was taking part in a music festival in the city of Vina del Mar, also found himself caught in the earthquake, reporting via Twitter: "I swear I thought this was the end of my life!"
He added: "Complete and utter choas on the streets... no power... my heart is beating outta my chest!... tsunami warning... I am only a mile inland!"
President Michelle Bachelet has declared a "state of catastrophe" in central Chile.
