Much better construction standards than Haiti. Haiti practically had no standards. Chile is pretty modern.

Thanks for that update, Sarah. The report of the onshore tsunami means little ......or a lot. We just have to wait this out.

That’s what I thought, but there are people both here and on the news (CNN) saying every point is 32 to 1.

That’s why I said if every point is 32 to 1...

If each point point is 10 to 1 then a 8.8 is 63 times stronger than a 7.0.

They have had so many past quakes, their buildings are very reinforced.

Fox News site

BREAKING NEWS — A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake capable of tremendous damage struck central Chile early Saturday, shaking the capital for a minute and half and setting off a tsunami. Buildings collapsed and phone lines and electricity were down, making the extent of the damage difficult to determine.
