It was right smack dab in the middle of Chile. Jesus. This is horrible.

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.

Yip yahoo just breaking it. uk.news.yahoo.com... Tsunami warning issued it seems. Not an expert but i thought quite a few factors have to be just right for a tsunami to occur(not just an earthquake) so hopefully they get lucky....
