Earthquake at Chile

Today it was told on the news the Chile had an earthquake. They had the scale a lot worse than chile it was at a rector scale of about 8.8! If you remember Haiti's earthquake was a 7.0 and their aftershock was around a 6.0. The earthquake for Chile has so far killed about 80 people. Right now since the earthquake and people are trying to clean up for Chile many of those who live in the Pacific may have to be warned of a tsunami. Those such as in Hawaii who live on the coast are being evacuated in case of one was to appear they would be ready. Just be aware that a tsunami can appear if you live on the coast so its better to be inland because the water will have to stop at some point. Also in the earthquake situation there was one in Japan and they to were warned about a earthquake (or it may have been china will update if i found out). Luckily, they didn't get a tsunami and that warning was taken off. Though you never know such as those who were in bankok the day after Christmas years ago never knew about an earthquake that was across the seas. Even those who were tracking where the earthquake had happened. Those scientists never expected to have a tsunami in their midst. Just be safe and careful if you do live on the coast. ^_^

  1. How scary and frightening! The quake happened at a time when most people were sleeping. I hope the United States and other foreign countries send aid to the people of Chile as soon as possible. They will need it. I further hope that no tsunamis strike any other country as a result of this quake. That would be even more devastating.
