Chile Earthquake

Another devastating disaster happened Saturday 3:34 AM (1:34 a.m. ET) Chile had 8.8 magnitude earthquake. According to CNN it was 5th of the most powerful earthquake that happened since 1900 and 700 - 800 times stronger than the Haiti quake. As of today more than 300 people died, more than 1 million buildings were damaged, and had more than 80 aftershocks happened.

Since it happened, there are tsunami warnings over other countries such as Indonesia, Japan, Hawaii and also some parts in the Philippines. Let us all pray that this would not happen so it might not affect other countries as well.
