the earthquake was very very impressive.
I saw the cailing moving like a sheet on a water bed.
I am usualy cool with quakes, so i didnt panic at all, like many people here in my neighbourhood.
Here in santiago some old buildings are in the ground some new 20 floor buildings are in danger of falling soon, but the damage and deaths are amazingly low.
Some highways are broken, at least 5 towns and small cities are complete devasted, The poorest people always get the most damage,
i am still getting in touch with my family and friends.
That's reassuring to hear 
Are there any donation efforts popping up? I like to volunteer, so...

more than 30 replicas up to 6 richter are recorded until now. 122 victims, and some old buildings destroyed, plus cutted highroads and of course many minor losses like pcs, cars, etc. But we are fine right now, the people in my country are strong and very well adpated for this kind of natural disorders. I hope the tsunami dont rise ond japan or other places. Im very proud of our urbanists, technics, scientists and architects. I hope the worse part has passed.
ps: i think that a massive beta key for chile users would help to raise the urban mood =) cmon blizzard!! u can help us!
I lold! Thats the spirit! Still praying for Chile and anyone else who might get the tsunami

I was woken up at call at 5am here to wake my friend in hawaii(3am there) to make sure she was set in case of tsunami :[

Wow this is crazy. I just saw and article about this on yahoo when i was about to check my e-mail for a beta key. to put it in perspective, i'm pretty sure that the earthquake that hit Haiti was a 7.1, and each number jump is about double the power, so the fact that so few people died, despite the fact that the epicenter was right next to a major city of about 670,000 people and near santiago, a city of over 5 million, is nothing short of a miracle.
I'm glad to see that the Chilean members of the community are ok, and blizzard should definitely give them beta keys to up the moral, and for being loyal customers.
speaking of which, where's mine?

When I saw the damages and death toll for Chile compared to Haiti, I was completely shocked.122 to 220,000 deaths.

In before Hugo Chaves blames it on our earthquake creating machine

Let's hope not ofcourse...

Each number jump is 10x the power, and this was almost two magnitudes higher O_O crazy, glad to hear Chile seems to be dealing with it okay.

And 8.8 is absolutely ridiculous. I applaud Chile for having such good preparation... the low amount of devastation is absolutely amazing for an earthquake of that magnitude. I hope everybody's okay down there O_o

8.8 is crazy. I'm impressed Chile is weathering it so well, both the engineering, construction, and the laws must be great there for there to be such "relatively" little damage.
Probably no comfort to the relatives of the dead, though.

HAAAAARRRPPPPPP!!!!
thought of this too, but chile is a natural earthquake area, i am not sure yet if this could be a haarp attack/test.
i would have thought more of venezuela and iran as an aim for haarp like events. indonesia and haiti surely where tests and the atomic "testing" that is used to pull haarps full potential were confirmed, waiting for that oceanic "testing" to be confirmed for this too.

allegedly the tsunamis are expected to only reach like 8 feet in height instead of the massive walls of water that we've come to associate with tsunamis. at least that's encouraging

Worst earthquake ever guys.
