Man, that is pushing into the 5 and 6 mm/s on every south american station I can get in GEE. The one station IU.LCO very close to the epicenter may
have been wiped completely out- getting nothing. Remember that Chile holds the record currently for the greatest earthquake in history in 1960:
en.wikipedia.org...
3000-6000 dead.
Edit; they changed the epicenter and magnitude upon further review. It WAS offshore, meaning a possible threat of tsunami may exist. But so close, no
time at all if there was one, it has already hit.
