And a tsunami warning was already out for the earlier 6.9 quake in Japan.

That's the largest circle I've ever seen on this map.

It's (the quake) was off the coast of Chile, which is quite a ways away - I'm just amazed at how far it has traveled so far.

There have been thousands of after shocks already - 8.8 - just makes you think. I was watching some of the pictures - in Chile, it looks like (and the authorities are currently saying) that the damage looks worse than they would expect.

Luckily, it was not a populated area, the the quake was deep (not like the one in Haiti) - but 8.8 - sheesh.
