March 12, 2012 Flood in Punta Arenas!

I am still on the ship! I was supposed to move to the hotel today, but the pier is washed out and a seawall has broken. We actually had to leave the dock because everything is such a mess. I hope to get to the hotel tomorrow, but the streets in Punta Arenas are closed. It's been quite a day!
