" An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.0 has struck off the coast of Chile, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

A tsunami warning was issued following the quake, which was centered 49 miles west-northwest of Iquique, Chile, and was 6.21 miles deep, the USGS said. "

That's a good size - I will be getting calls from NZ in 5.4.3.2.1...

And am in Panama now:)

USGS upgraded the quake off the coast of Iquique, Chile to 8.2M They're also getting lots of aftershocks 5.2-6.2M. Chile has a long history of seismic activity, so hopefully they're well prepared.

It's a good thing this quake didn't hit SoCal. Too many people would disregard the warnings and think they were being pranked for April Fools Day.

nobod care bou anythin else i ani other kuntry

They have withdrawn watches for Panama - You are safe:)...
