For those of you who do not know, a massive 8.8 mag earthquake struck right off the coast of Chile during the early hours of the morning today. This earthquake has created a tsunami which has just now reached Tahiti, bringing 6 foot waves to the island. Hawaii is expecting the tsunami around 11am local time (around 4…pm EST). Please keep everyone in Chile and in the path of the tsunami in your thoughts and prayers today.
As we know with the recent Haiti earthquake, these massive quakes are usually followed by large aftershocks. One look at the map below shows the swarm of quakes of 5.0 or more in both Chile and Argentina.
