Major Earthquake Northern Chili
A major earthquake has hit northern Chili on Wednesday and registered 7.7 and was centered 780 miles north of Santiago or 25 miles east-southeast of Tocopilla. It toppled ppower lines, closed roads and sent terrified residents into the streets. Authorities reported 20 injuries but no deaths from the quake, which was felt in the capital, as well as, neighboring Peru and Bolivia. The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued, then cancelled a tsunami warning for Chili and Peru. It only generated a two foot wave which was very lucky.
