I’ve seen documentaries that say that of all the truly dangerous earthquake areas of the world the Pacific coast of Chile is just about the worst.IIRC they said that eventually a collapse of a huge section of the coastline will occur sending a tsunami of Biblical proportions across the Pacific.

But roll the dice. Does it happen in your lifetime? You can only know by waiting out your lifetime and seeing what happens.

From a strictly scientific point of view, Chile is much more seismically active than the average place you met settle, like North Carolina, but the geological time scale isn’t tomorrow ... until it is.
