This is terrible news, all these earthquakes and people suffering. All we can do is hope they`ll be ok and the damage is minimal in populated areas.

It's strong, but not the strongest recorded. That title belongs to another Chilean earthquake that occurred in 1960 and measured 9.5 on the Richter o_O Compared to Haiti, Chile is much more prepared for earthquakes and should not have near the casualties or the other costs that result from this type of disaster. Hopefully there are no tsunamis or large aftershocks that could endanger more human lives, I hope the best for everybody affected by this disaster and pray for recovery.
