Hope Selgin and other forum members from Chile are doing okay.(CNN; updated 9:35 AM EDT, Wed April 2, 2014) -- A mighty 8.2-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of northern Chile late Tuesday, triggering small landslides, cutting power and generating a tsunami.
The quake struck about 8:46 p.m. local time, some 60 miles northwest of Iquique. It had a depth of 12.5 miles, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Re: Earthquake Strikes Off Chile's Coast
Thank you very much, guys. I'm fine. The earthquake was in the northern part of my thin country (I'm in Santiago, closer to the half). I don't have too much information right now, but it seems it wasn't so rude as the last earthquake of 2010. Of course it's a tragedy, but there were a lot of smaller earthquakes this weeks, so people were expecting a bigger one any time soon. And the evacuation for an eventual tsunami worked well.
