yup

That is truely HUGE. I lived in California for 15 years.

I'm still waiting for answer from my Chilean friend on Last.fm

I think it will be a while before you hear anything

I have been in a 7.0 quake. This 180 times bigger

Ok, they say now compared to Haiti. Haiti was within a smaller radius. More people involved. This is a bigger quake because of the large

radius.

But still wide spread major damage

I read that Chile will have fewer casualties/injuries because of better building codes, but still

But prolly less people hurt and killed.

I have been in a 6.6 quake, was 50 miles away from the epicenter (gilroy)

Jeni!! that's scary!

Michelle, it was scary, yes, but we didn't have any injuries, so we were lucky in the end

oh good
