One site lists it at 8.0 plus two 5 quakes.. Reports seem to be mixed - either way this is a big shaking... http://www.emsc-csem.org/index.php?page=home


Tsunami alert..

EVALUATION

SEA LEVEL READINGS INDICATE A TSUNAMI WAS GENERATED. WE HAVE OBSERVED
A TSUNAMI SIGNAL ON THE DEEP OCEAN GAUGE OFF NORTHERN CHILE.
A TSUNAMI MAY HAVE BEEN GENERATED THAT COULD BE DESTRUCTIVE ALONG
COASTS NEAR THE EARTHQUAKE EPICENTER AND COULD ALSO BE A THREAT TO
MORE DISTANT COASTS. AUTHORITIES SHOULD
TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION IN RESPONSE TO THIS POSSIBILITY. THIS
CENTER WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SEA LEVEL DATA TO DETERMINE THE
EXTENT AND SEVERITY OF THE THREAT.

well its many hours later and I have not heard of a tsunami - so the danger must have passed.

from what I saw about the quakes there were many of them, with two of around 7.5, and then one of these was elevated to 7.9 and later 8.0.

I suspect that it will be a few days before the full death toll is known. There will be many who are trapped in collapsed buildings.

A horrible way to die, especially if a person is awake and knows whats going on.
