Tsunami warnings and watches cover the entire Pacific coastline of South America and goes as far north as Costa Rica in Central America.

Unbelievable!

We're pretty far away, far enough to not feel an 8.2 earthquake.

The tsunami is supposed to arrive shortly, but it shouldn't do much here because the water is very deep.

Honestly, I'm just a little hungover now... ironically I was drinking a drink called "terremoto" today lol

Yeah? You want to see people die and lose their home?

Some videos that have been uploaded to Youtube in the last few minutes (sorry, but its all in Spanish):







I don't believe in these things, but this guy has been able to predict all sorts of catastrophes (supposedly including 9-11 in NYC) and on March 23, 2014 he predicted that an earthquake will shake Chile, Haiti, and Japan. I don't know if this is just pure coincidence, but one down:



The earthquake that shocked Chile is stronger than the one that hit Haiti in 2010.

Nope, but I like to see the waves crashing down below the cliffs. There are no people or homes down below us!
