Abstract

Moments after the telephone network cataclysm, the electric flow and water service were suspended. Social media remained out of the air the total absence of traffic lights and traffic police caused traffic chaos.
Trying not to think about the worst and keeping a little light of hope that everything was fine, it did not matter that the house had fallen, but that his family was healthy and safe.
From several points of the city a great dust cloud was visible in the direction of the San Salvador volcano, immediately many supposed landslides in some constructions, others thought that the volcano had erupted, since the coloration of the powder looked of a pink tone.
The human tragedy that was developing in those moments never passed through the mind of someone.
