Just A Heads Up on the Big Chile Quake
OK, folks the impact of this earthquake will be clearly visible in our grocery stores by the middle of the week here in the US.
"In the village of Reumen, a tractor trailer slammed into a dangling pedestrian overpass and 40 tons of concrete and steel crunched the truck, covering Chile's main highway with smashed grapes, tomatoes and cucumbers — one of several overpasses toppled along the highway."
Most of the fresh produce in the grocery stores this time of year comes from Chile.
I doubt very seriously if we will see any more produce from Chile for a LONG LONG TIME!
"Chile's main seaport, in Valparaiso, was ordered closed while damage was assessed. Two oil refineries shut down. The state-run Codelco, the world's largest copper producer, halted work at two of its mines, but said it expected them to resume operations quickly. "
