Hi Erik,

The Tsunami warnings are a precaution, nobody can tell for sure how much of an effect it will have at long distances.

The magnitude 8.8 earth quake in Chili is something like 63 times more powerful than the magnitude 7.0 one in Haiti (on CNN they said a thousand times, but I'm not sure about that number), but the Haiti one's epicentre was near the land surface in a rural center, while the one in Chili was 35 Km or 21.75 miles deep in the ocean. So they are difficult to compare. Buildings in Chili are generally also of better quality to withstand quakes (which are common there), but this one was exceptionally strong.

Cheers,
Bart

Hi Bart...In 1960 a quake in Chili sent a Tsunami to Hawaii that killed over 60 people...8.8 yes i first heard 8.0 but was changed to 8.8....122 dead and that number continues to increase.
