Was playing and chatting with Stera, whose on vacation at the beach in Chile, when this happened: 1:34 AM - Stera: wtf 1:35 AM - Stera: earthquake 1:35 AM - Stera: oh shit 1:35 AM - Stera: OH SHIT 1:35 AM - (#>) Mwr247 (Mike): ? 1:35 AM - Stera: HOLY SHIT 1:35 AM - (#>) Mwr247 (Mike): ???????????????????????????!?!?!? Stera is now Offline. I checked for news results on recent earthquakes, but it took a good while for any to show up. Apparently one hit just off the coast of Chile at the time this occurred, registering at an 8.8 on the richter scale. That's stronger than the highest estimates for the great San Fransisco earthquake =S http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/8540289.stm Last edited 02/27/10 at 03:04:40 for: edit

For more comparison, the earthquake in Indonesia 2007 that caused those tsunamis was an 8.5 (tsunamis also predicted for this one since it's off the coast). The Haiti indecent was a mere 7.0, which following the logarithmic system, was about 100 times weaker than this.

Well if you wan an update for the worse, the magnitude was bumped up by more accurate measures from an 8.3 to an 8.8... That would put this at around the 5th most powerful earthquake since their recordings began. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale For the most part thankfully reports seem to indicate damage wasn't all to bad outside shaken buildings and loss of power. They just had a voice report from a hotel operator in the area on the news.
