Was it flooding or another Earthquake that hit Chile recently?

They should be ok, it's a fairly developed country like Argentina.

Chile had a mag 8.8 off the coast about a year ago.

This looks a decent depth so hopefully no more than a serious shake up.

The quake was centered in Putre, about 40 miles (60 kilometers) east of the port of Arica near the border with Peru, and nearly 1,400 miles (2,200 kilometers) north of the capital, Santiago, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The quake happened about 9:30 a.m. and had a depth of about 70 miles (110 kilometers), the agency said.

Some people ran out of homes and churches into the streets when they felt the shaking, but there were no reports of injuries, Chile's national emergency agency said.

At least some of the RSS posts have links - hit and run threads like this need to be banned tbh.

Sorry for informing people, I won't bother in the future, I thought I posted a link it was late (for me anyway).
