On the radio KFI LA..
i’m tired...
go to link and see the towns, bridges, and roadways of the quake region
Talca is just north of Maule
TY so much Daisy, I am a news junkie as you can tell :)
unreal the difference from 7.0 to 8.8
Well, all the folks that talk and talk about SHTF scenarios here it is. Truth is, I don’t think enough preparation could prepare one for an event like this.
Was just thinking something similar to myself, that if deathtoll is close to 20 over 200 mi away, come one now, it’s going to be bad! I posted a tweet of 500+ near epicenter awhile ago
I am in IL also up on the bluffs of the Mississippi River about 100 miles south of St. Louis

This is very bad. This whole event caught folks asleep or just waking up. I bet most had no idea what hit them.

@elliottyamin of American Idol fame is in Chile and felt the 8.8 quake! he is filing updates #terremotochile less than a minute ago via Power Twitter
The watches and warnings are issued as the possible energy is traveling. The windward areas of the pacific islands and coastlines of this quake need to stay on top of this. It is very early in these areas.
OMG
go slightly north and you can see Talca on this map (look at the window in the bottom right corner for the town names)
