Chile 8.8 earthquake

This is a photo taken after the magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Chile. The quake is so strong that it is felt 2,900Km away from the epicenter. There are many casualties and its still rising. Strong aftershocks, 29 of them magnitude 5 and above and 1 that is magnitude 6.9. Waves 6 feet above normal hit Talcahuano near Concepcion 23 minutes after the quake, and President Michelle Bachelet said a huge wave swept into a populated area in the Robinson Crusoe Islands, 660 kilometers off the Chilean coast. There were no immediate reports of major damage from the waves. Experts warned that a tsunami could strike anywhere in the pacific region, and parts of asia, including Philippines, New Zealand, Australia etc. The tsunami is expected to arive 24hrs after the quake that happened at 3:34am.

Here in the Philippines, alert level 1 is issued on the eastern part of the country. These includes, Davao, legaspi and others near these places. The first wave is not the strongest, tsunami hits with multiple waves ranging from 5 min to 1hr. People can say that the danger is over when 2hours after the last wave have passed.

I hope this strong earthquake doesn't happen here in the Philippines, coz it really sucks if it will happen...

2012... so soon.

@BrYan: yes, unfortunately, humans need to get hurt to learn.

Mother Nature has endured for so long. Humans took for granted what nature has offered them and now we're praying the price. Mother Nature is striking back.

Yes, we will pray. But alongside this we must ACT. Hope must be accompanied by the will to do.

For the people of Haiti, Chile and all the other countries being struck by calamities, may God bless you. :) and don't despair. There's always good in the bad; light in the dark.

oh my god.matagal na akong nagreresearch jan, but mahirap talaga ipinpoint kung talagang mangyayari ito. sinabihan ko na rin ung mga taong nakapaligid sa aking buhay but don't believed on me. 2012 is coming, may nagpost sa youtube, isang report news na they started a countdown patungong 2012. nagreresearch ako jan sana naman maniwala kayo kahit konti, nasa inyo na un. hindi naman sa pinangungunahan ko si god. thanks sa pagbasa. sana gumawa rin kayo ng research about 2012. di nyo ba napapansin na maraming disaster na ang nangyayari!!!!!!!!!!be aware, WE'RE WARNED!!!!!!!!!.SORI GOD.,

its a good thing that the epicenter is just near the shore, who knows what would have happened if its epicenter is beneath the sea...
