I was disturbed by the recent earhquake in Chile. It was reported that the epicenter is located in Concepcion, Chile. It happened in the middle of the morning about 3 in the morning there in Chile. reaching up to 8.8 magnitude Now we are still helping and coping with the earthquake in Haiti (magnitude 7.0), now another quake has struck the western hemisphere now in the South America. Actually, Chile has experienced a stronger earthquake in 1960 with more than a thousand deaths. Now since it event happened just hours since this was posted. Many are still unsure of what will happen. Now rescue and recovery is on the way in Chile which has more stable infrastructure than Haiti, so there would be less casualties. However, there are also reports of infrastructures that have collapsed. Aftershocks are still felt in Chile, now the world is also very concerned about the Tsunami that will hit many countries around the Pacific Ocean.
Now for the Philippines, we are in the Ring of Fire, so the tsunami alert is placed. Here now are the provinces in the east coastlines ng Pilipinas batanes, cagayan, isabela, aurora, quezon, camarines sur and norte, albay, catanduanes, sorsogon, leyte, samar, surigao del norte and del sur, dinagat islands, davao del sur, del norte and oriental. although davao del norte and biliran are inward provinces and may not be majorly affected... just also note that its a ripple effect so it may go into more places therefore if your in or near the coast please look for higher ground. Here is the predicted tsunami path within hours upon impact with coastlines.
Now please stay safe everyone...pray.
