It is two-twelve in the morning and yet I'm still blogging, giving you the latest information about the earthquake at Chile as it effect others. So here is what I get from AOL News and USA TODAY.

President-elect, Sebastian Pinera said it was the strongest earthquake ever after 50 years.

And because of that, tourists in Hawaii have been asked to evacuate as the warning from the center said it might be the tsunami has generated and might also cause damages along the coastlines.

*sorry for my broken english. i'm just surprised.

here's a video about the earthquake. take a quick view/look.



And as for Hawaii, the tsunami slightly will generate many many waves and at least last for six hours. Hawaii woke residents with sirens, alerting them to the waves. A tsunami warning - the highest alert level - was issued earlier for the island chain. Boats and people near the coast were being evacuated. Hilo International Airport, located along the coast, was closed. - AOLNews.

AOLNews reported that slightly 78 people died from the earthquake while National Public Radio (NPR) reported more than 100 people are killed. There's a possibility for the tsunami to hit Australia and New Zealand as warning has been sent out by New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Management.

And according to XinHua Net, Chatham Island will be the first area to receive the wave if Tsunami generated like around 7.05AM

UPDATED AT 10.42AM
So here again I'm updating about Chile earthquake.

BBC News says two million Chileans are affected by this earthquake and guess what! To compare Haiti earthquake, this one is way too worst. Like I mean, many roads are destroyed. While I was viewing BBC News for the latest news, I found one video that surprised me and you can watch the video by clicking here.

Forgive me but I totally forgot on which website I got this but three were killed on spot when the earthquake occurred and ten went missing - said the President at one conference.


And about Hawaii tsunami case, Hawaii reports there's no damage when a tsunami triggered by the massive earthquake. But Los Angeles beaches got the effect. According to Los Angeles Times, waves were difficult to get detected and but no damage of any significance in Southern California has been reported.

And while I was reading news this and there, I found an image which is National Weather Service map shows scope of tsunami warning for the North American West Coast.


Also, might be the wave attacks these places within the time below:-
La Jolla, California 12:02; the California-Mexico border 12:04; Newport Beach, California 12:12; San Pedro, California 12:15; Point Concepcion, California 12:17; Santa Monica, California 12:25; Santa Barbara, California 12:31



Somehow, I still think that Chile earthquake is way too worst than Haiti. What do you think guys? I was thinking of probably we can do some volunteer works for helping the people. Comment on this guys.
