In 1971, my dad (a marine engineer) and his crew were doing a geophysical survey off the pacific coast of Chile. They arrived in port at Valparaiso. They dropped anchor about 7-8pm in the evening, and 6 of the crew got into a motor boat (a Boston Whaler), intending to go to shore for a beer. They were about half way to shore when suddenly all the lights in the city went out. It was like somebody flicked a switch. The boat started bobbing around in the water like a cork. By the time they got to shore, people were running around screaming, and buildings were collapsed. They decided that there would be no beer that night.
History repeats itself.
