I'm in the dealer waiting room so I can't ckeck the links but that sounds horrible. I hope the affected places have the infrastructure to alert and move people.

This planet scares the hell out of me.. Two 7+ earthquakes within a few months of each other, and tsunamis flying everywhere.
I hope that they can endure this disaster. Hopes go out of everyone affected.

The communications are down  . And the chilean websites are also down

My GF lives in Santigo, at the time of the earthquake we were talking on MSN and she disconnected. I assumed that her internet went down or something so i went to sleep.
About three hours ago my brother woke me up with the news and i've been worried like hell since then; shaking and with my hands freezing cold.
But a few minutes ago i was able to communicate with her and she's fine.
Good god, 8,8 is just insane, good thing Chile was rather well prepared.

Chile is a much wealthier country than Haiti though and have a history of earthquakes. So they're going to handle this earthquake a hell of a lot better than Haiti. A lot of people should have their own disaster recovery packages.
But 8.8 is strong and the tsunamis look like they're serious business. I hope not a lot of people get hurt and it's just damage to infrastructure.

Can you guys tell me what part of Chile were hit?
I have family in Santiago also.
Fuckn...

Im fine, im from chile.. this earthquake was 50 times more powerful than Haití, 8,8 in Richter Scale, but now we have only 85 deads, (chileans architects and engineers are fkng good)the 2 major cities of our country felt the more energy from this earth movement, but no major catastrophe are registered, more than 20 replica have passed from the first strike... the ground still are moving.
I feel like the end of the world coming, but now all of us are calm.
ps: I was playing sc:bw when the eqke started, at least i find some strat for defend me from a 2 hatch lurker rush with terran... i just need a fkng big earthquake!

I am really happy that the damage is minimized. Considering Chile has a history of earthquakes, the infrastructure has been designed to stop that. The death count although still sad( its surprisingly low and great)
Thanks for communicating with us and informing us.

=) I'm really glad the death toll so low.
Well done my south american grape farmin bros!

Sad.
Some islands have already been hit by a tsunami. :/
I hope all the TL members from Chile are ok.

i have some sort of top ten of earthquakes in the recent world history. I think now we have a new #5 spot.
Concepcion city was the most damaged. Roads and some buildings are down.
