Graciela Torres stands outside her earthquake-damaged home on Thursday, November 15, 2007, in Tocopilla, Chile, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the epicenter of a 7.7 magnitude quake that struck Wednesday.

Although 2 people were killed and more than 150 people reported injuries, the damage was considered light for such a major quake.
