Looks like Concepcion, Chile will be hardest hit. I just tried to call up their university’s website, but it is down.

AND...if you check out the seismocorders for Mt. Hood, Mt. Baker and Crater Lake, they felt it even harder than Rainier did!

The Anchorage earthquake was bigger at 9.2. 8.3 is still a massive quake.

Any live links to Chilean newspapers? I can’t get any to load.

Now, were trying to tune a HF radio to see if we can hear any live reports from ham operators in the region. Lots of amateur radio operators down there, but unfortunately conditions are not good right now from our west coast spot.

To be honest a 5.7 seems massive when your sitting on the epicenter. I know.

8.5-magnitude quake hits Chile

Reuters
Saturday, February 27, 2010; 2:04 AM

SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) - A massive magnitude-8.5 earthquake struck near Concepcion, Chile, early on Saturday, the USGS reported, shaking buildings and causing blackouts in parts of the capital of Santiago.

A Reuters witness reported shaking buildings and loss of electricity in Santiago, which is north of the epicenter.

The earthquake struck 56 miles northeast of Concepcion at a depth of 34 miles at 3:34 a.m./1:34 EST/0643 GMT. The quake was initially reported at a magnitude of 8.3.

The Reuters witness reported a very strong shaking lasted for 10 to 30 seconds.

On my USGS Live Bookmark feed, there were two earthquakes listed as in Central CA at 4.1 and 3.3 shortly after the big one in Chile.
