(Reuters) - Chile’s emergency office ordered a preventive evacuation of the coastline in the country’s north following an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 late on Wednesday.

The Andean nation’s navy declared a tsunami alert after the quake, which was initially reported as being of magnitude 7.4.

The USGS website sure is lame compared to what it used to be. Classic case of a fix that made a website much worse.

IQUIQUE, Chile (AP) — The U.S. Geological Survey says a powerful 7.8-magnitude aftershock has rocked Chile’s northern coast, which was hit by a powerful magnitude-8.2 earthquake Tuesday night.

The latest tremor came 45 minutes after a strong 6.4-magnitude aftershock shook the same area.

I just checked and I got 19 recent quakes from 4.2 to 5.8, just in the past day.

Ringing like a bell, she is.
