While some of us are busy working last night, sleeping, partying, etc, our friends in Chile were suffering from severe fright, sorrow and devastation of an 8.8 Magnitude earthquake!

The epicenter of the earthquake was located in a city near Concepcion (Chile’s second largest city). It has been reported that the population reaches at 200,000 and it was confirmed that the death toll reaches 214 and over 2 Million were affected.

Buildings were crashed, bridges were toppled and roads were damaged. A lot of people in Chile right now are homeless due to the massive quake last Saturday. I just hope that most of them have arranged home insurance to help them rebuild their lives.

Meanwhile, due to this earthquake wherein a few miles away from the epicenter of the largest earthquake recorded in the history last May 1960, several countries have been warned for a possible Tsunami across the Pacific, including the Philippines.

Updates: Pacific Tsunami Center have canceled the warning for all countries listed except for Russia and Japan.
