Magnitude 8.8 Offshore Maule, Chile

reply to post by David9176


After Haiti the last thing the world needs is another huge natural disaster. If I were a religious man, I'd be praying for the people of Chile right now.

I'll keep trying to reconnect to RSOE EDIS but so far it seems to be overloaded and has crashed.

As far as I can tell no more aftershocks have occured. Still several 3-4mag quakes occurring in California on and off. Been about 7 to 10 since the big quake happened.

I just looked at USGS. They are listing it as 8.8 ? So what was it 8.3 8.5, or 8.8

CNN reporting a tsunami, but they don't know how big. Tsunami warnings up to Costa Rica.

You are right. The report lists 8.8 and states it has been reviewed by a seismologist... Scary stuff

Magnitude 8.8 - OFFSHORE MAULE, CHILE
2010 February 27 06:34:14 UTC

earthquake.usgs.gov...

upgraded

This seemed to trigger a number of smaller scale quakes in California. I'm not sure if that is how it works but that appears to have happened.

could this be a distraction

I am now getting a big quake registering in Argentina in GEE, and appears to be coming from there too! This is before USGS posts it, just as a reminder.

Looks like the worst shaking was "Sever" in
Constitucion 38k
Tome 47k
Parral 27k
But no towns were in the Extreme or Violent areas of the quake

To: U.S. West Coast, Alaska, and British Columbia coastal regions
From: NOAA/NWS/West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center
Subject: Tsunami Information Statement #2 issued 02/26/2010 at 11:52PM PST

A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning, watch or advisory is in effect for these areas.

A tsunami has been generated that could potentially impact the U.S. west coast, British Columbia, and Alaska. The West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center is investigating the event to determine the level of danger. More information will be issued as it becomes available.

A tsunami has been observed at the following sites:

Location Lat. Lon. Time Amplitude
------------------------ ----- ------ ------- -----------

83min Talcahuano C 36.7S 73.1W 0716UTC 1.15M/3.8FT
45min Valparaiso C 33.0S 71.4W 0706UTC 1.29M/4.2FT
Juan Ferdandez C 33.617S 78.83W 0.19M/0.6FT

Time - Time of measurement.
Amp. - Tsunami amplitudes are measured relative to normal sea level. It is NOT crest-to-trough wave height. Values are given in both meters (M) and feet (FT).

At 10:34 PM Pacific Standard Time on February 26, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 8.6 (REVISED FROM 8.5) occurred near the coast of central Chile . (Refer to the United States Geological Survey for official earthquake parameters.)

It looks like the entire Pacific Plate is active.




Edit: Look at the edges of the plate as compared to the earthquake activity in the last day.

Dear God. If this ends up to be as bad as Haiti, this is really going to begin terrifying people. Watch the blame shift towards "global warming" when the truth in it lies, that the shift is preparing to occur.

I prayed that these days would not come. Yet each and every disaster - weve had 2 HUGE earthquakes in the past 2 months + Norway Spiral, which for me anyways is indicative of the shift.

Those aftershocks are coming fast and furious.

I cant see why they are still reporting from inside the tv station and do not go outside!!!!!



Shouldnt people run outside to open areas?

Where are you watching local Chile News? I havent been able to find anything yet...

i saw that Argentina thread about the falklands and britain and can't help to think so devious force is behind this. i can't wait to see the threads appear on it in the coming days.
