Poesia [ ] T Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 :huh::eek::huh::eek: A massive earthquake of 8.3 magnitude has struck central Chile. The epicentre was 91km (56 miles) north-east of the city of Concepcion and 317km south-west of the capital, Santiago. The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake struck at 0634 GMT at a depth of about 59.4km. There is no information yet on any casualties. The US government said a tsunami warning had been issued for Chile, Peru and Ecuador. Buildings in Santiago were reported to have shaken for between 10 and 30 seconds, with the loss of electricity in some parts of the capital. Telephone lines and internet connections appear to have been damaged. The USGS said: "An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicentre within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours." Chile suffered the biggest earthquake of the 20th century when a 9.5 magnitude quake struck the city of Valdivia in 1960, killing 1,655 people.

That too and this 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.) The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii will issue a tsunami warning for regions near the epicenter. Messages will continue to be issued hourly by the WCATWC until the event status is upgraded to a warning or advisory, or until the center has determined that the event poses no threat to the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts. See the WCATWC web site for basic tsunami information, safety rules, and a tsunami travel time map and table. (NOTE: Travel time maps and tables indicate forecasted times only, not that a wave dangerous to the U.S. and Canadian coasts was generated.)
