8.8 EarthQuake hits Chile

First before you read this post, I think it would be wise to look at the latest earthquakes to have took place in the last few days. Please go here and look at the quakes to have taken place in the last few hours. The numbers are frightening if not disturbing.




The earthquake epicenter caused concern for Asian Islands far from the center of the quake. The after effects put Japan and others on alert.

The map to the left here displays the wave effects from the epicenter, but so far luckily the after shocks have been been centered in the general areas of the epicenter.




The major concern though was the effect it had on Chile and surrounding areas. Roughly 1.7-2.1 million people are displaced at the moment, with a death toll rising up to if not expected beyond 1,000. So far luckily the numbers have reached 720, which is far less than the quake that hit Haiti. Roughly 270,000 died in the Haiti Quake, but Chile was far more prepared and ready for such a catastrophe.


The two maps below give you a idea of the local and the number of quakes taking place around the world in the last 38 hours.


Chile has relatively escaped huge numbers of human life loss, more damage to buildings than people, thankfully!



An estimated 100,000 Chile Troops have been deployed to halt looting and social unrest.



U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton brought much-needed satellite phones and a promise of more aid on Tuesday. More aid is needed, but because of this countries ability to recover, America will not be deploying troops. Unlike Haiti.
