This webicorder out of Wyoming suggests there were two quakes. USGS just updated. Another 6.9 a few minutes after.

Looks like 80 miles south of Valparaiso and 90 miles southwest from Santiago. Much closer to capital.

Clearly, God is not happy with Sebastian Pinera's election.

“The Chilean Navy issued a tsunami warning following the tremors.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the first quake had a preliminary magnitude of 5.1 and the second registered at 7.2. Both rocked buildings in the capital, shook windows and provoked nervous smiles among dignitaries arriving for Thursday’s ceremony at the congressional building in coastal Valparaiso.”

Good to see morons using this tragedy to push their agenda, one way or another.

Why don’t you come to your senses and hit the abuse button on your own post?
