Luna Lovegood Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 A devastating 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit Chile early Saturday morning, which has resulted in tsunami warnings for both Chile and Hawaii. Geophysicists from the U.S. Geological Survey say the earthquake was 700-800 times stronger than the quake that hit Haiti earlier this winter. A reported 122 casualties have been named, but officials expect the death toll to rise as the day goes on. Awful. Aftershocks have been occurring hourly and many Chilean residents at this point are still without power, water and phone service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 First people donate thousands of dollars to Haiti, and now people are going to donate to Hawaii and Chile. At least those two areas actually export something other than children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hang on over there. Likely the U.S. Army is gonna come and help. Unless their already there.
