A strong earthquake of 7.1 magnitude Hits Chile (South America)


A strong earthquake of 7.1 magnitude on the Richter scale was felt at 19:38 (local time) on Sunday in central Chile, as indicated by the U.S. Geological Survey, and created great alarm among the population.
The epicenter, with a depth of 30 kilometers was recorded northwest of the city of Talca, the capital of Maule region, one of the most affected by the earthquake of February 27, 2010.
The BBC World Service partner in Chile, Rodrigo Bustamante, said the National Emergency Office (Onemi) of the country ordered the precautionary evacuation of the coastal towns between the regions of Valparaíso and Bío.
Moments later, the evacuation was discarded.
The Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Navy (SHOA) said the quake "is not eligible to generate tsunami."
In the Chilean capital (Santiago) many people ran out into open places because the tremor lasted for at least 40 seconds.
Hitherto unknown damage caused by the tremor.
Some of our readers indicated through the BBC page on Facebook that mobile systems are still collapsed and vibration "was very strong."
