"There are more than a thousand， 1，200 houses， at least， that were totally flattened， and others in bad shape，" Tocopilla Mayor Luis Moyano said in an interview that aired on Radio Cooperativo.

　　Tocopillas population is 24，000.

　　Moyano described going through the damaged city and running into people asking， "Mayor， my house collapsed. What do I do？ Mayor， I dont have water. What do I do？"

　　"It gets to you，" he said.

　　Paula Saez with the aid organization World Vision told CNN she was on a treacherous drive attempting to reach Tocopilla.

　　"Theres no electricity and theres a lot of landslides" covering the road in spots， she said， and the highway was spotted with holes.
