7.0 EARTHQUAKE.=-0..------>Chile<------.....back down to 1 quake :-( .......now its down to 6.7 ;-Q........UPDATE: TSUNAMI DETECTED

"SEA LEVEL READINGS INDICATE A TSUNAMI WAS GENERATED. IT MAY HAVE
BEEN DESTRUCTIVE ALONG COASTS WITHIN 200 KM of THE EARTHQUAKE
EPICENTER. FOR THOSE AREAS - WHEN NO MAJOR WAVES ARE OBSERVED FOR
TWO HOURS AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE THEN LOCAL AUTHORITIES CAN ASSUME
THE THREAT IS PASSED. DANGER TO BOATS AND COASTAL STRUCTURES CAN
CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL HOURS DUE TO THE RAPID CURRENTS. AS LOCAL
CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE A WIDE VARIATION IN TSUNAMI WAVE ACTION THE
ALL CLEAR DETERMINATION MUST BE MADE BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES."

Here's another cool site [link to dynamic.pdc.org]

i thought the same thing....

that town is doomed

The plates just seem to be jockeying for position lately. But, maybe that's the way it's always been. I don't pretend to be an expert.

a tsunami of epic proportions indeed!!!

...20cm mkay.

lots of after shocks too.

im on the west coast!!!! wtf should I do?!

I can generate a 7.0 after I eat chili

Chilean Here, living approx 180 Km from the epicenter. Was in the shower at the moment, did not felt anything. I only noticed because everybody else was going frantic.

We have this kind of EQs very often (at least once every 5 years). This one caused a micro tsunami (0,3 m) so I'm worried it could be a foreshock for other bigger coming. Will keep an eye peeled just in case.

thanks for checking in

:highfive:

see they downgraded it to a 6.7
bastards do it everytime

Thanks. It's still a lot of buzz in the news. I hope this is not a foreshock ala Honshu. What worries me is the microtsunami, something very similar happened with the 7.2 that preceded the Honshu 9.0 EQ by 4 days.

Good gosh!!

So no tsunami, or are dudes running for high ground?

Still "clustering"...

Peace

Yes, my significant other could not sleep with the EQs, but I slept like a log. I really don't have fear to EQs, not sure if it's a good thing.

Has downgraded it too a M5.2 ...laughable the size of the red circle is bigger than any other one on there yet they are trying to sneak it passed us ............
