Default Earthquake in Chile, Tsunami caused
I just saw this on the news. Chile been hit by a 8.5 earthquake causing a big Tsunami to spread out to sea, travelling at 600mph. Death toll isn't reported to be high in Chile, but the Tsunami is causing loads of places to be evacuted in the South East.

Well thank god we haven't got another Haiti on our hands in Chille but let's hope that the evacuation goes well in other places.

8.5's quite a large earthquake, I wonder how badly affected Chille is, let's hope they were lucky.

This earthquake generated 600x more energy than Haiti!

but it was deeper and not near major population areas.

Good grief, I guess it could have been a lot worse but still it's gonna affect Chille for a while.

Well it initially didnt kill to many people, but without getting people evacuated 3metre waves that would last possibly for days.

Could do major damage.


The earthquake took out a few buildings and that must have been very dangerous.

It looks really bad from the pictures.

It's about the 5th most powerful earthquake in recorded history - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquak...gest_world.php

Hawaii is expecting the tsunami waves in about 5 hours.

Let's hope for the best, considering how powerful the quake was Chile was lucky. Let's hope that luck affects the countries in the Tsunami's path.

Tsunami will hit Hawaii at 21:05 UK time. Should be some live streams online at that time.
