Man that's crazy. Apparently we got hit by a tsunami in Aus, but it really didnt do anything, more like just some angry water I think. My hearts go out to those affected. Also apparently Argentina got hit by a 6.0 earthquake not long after this one

Such a crazy amount of damage, but at least they're better equipped to get back on their feet than Haiti. Estimates are that the Chilean quake had 500x more energy than what happened in Haiti. Absolutely crazy.

Also, the earthquake moved the Chilean city of Concepcion 10 FEET. Shocked
Quote:
The magnitude 8.8 quake that struck near Maule, Chile, Feb. 27 moved the entire city of Concepcion 10 feet to the west.

Precise GPS measurements from before and after the earthquake, the fifth largest ever recorded by seismographs, show that the country’s capital, Santiago, moved 11 inches west. Even Buenos Aires, nearly 800 miles from the epicenter, shifted an inch.

scott a, wow, also i heard that Chili's"Seventh strongest quake in recorded history may have shifted Earth's axis" and it has caused the earth to move slightly slower or something strange, not sure exactly.

Also another earthquake hit Turkey today.... many deaths already Sad

so wild.
