1000 Times Stronger Than the Haiti Quake

As you probably know by now a massive (8.8) earthquake happened just off the coast of Chile this morning. We all have seen how much damage earthquake in Haiti did and this quake is almost one thousand times stronger. Forecasters are saying that this will most likely trigger a Pacific wide tsunami event and the warning sirens are reportedly already going off in Hawaii. Beyond the damage already being reported from Chile this event could cause widespread damage over almost a third of the globe. Keep your fingers crossed. While the original quake was huge the continuing aftershocks are nearly of the class of the Haiti quake. I've been through a number of quakes including the last big California (World Series) quake and it is no fun at all. If you have a favorite deity you might drop it/him/her a quick prayer for everyone affected by this natural disaster.
