SANTIAGO, Chile — A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck Chile early today, killing at least 78 people, collapsing buildings and setting off a tsunami.

A huge wave reached a populated area in the Robinson Crusoe Islands, 410 miles (660 kilometers) off the Chilean coast, said President Michele Bachelet.

More proof of global warming about to destroy the world. Obviously this earthquake had as it’s source the weight of the mountain of snow falling in the Northern Hemisphere which “ripped” the earth asunder because it is now out of balance.
