February 27 - Chile struck by one of strongest earthquakes ever

Article: Signs Of The Last Times

One of the largest earthquakes ever recorded tore apart houses, bridges and highways in central Chile on Saturday and sent a tsunami racing halfway around the world. Chileans near the epicenter were tossed about as if shaken by a giant, and authorities said at least 214 people were dead.

The magnitude-8.8 quake was felt as far away as Sao Paulo in Brazil � 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) to the east. The full extent of damage remained unclear as scores of aftershocks � one nearly as powerful as Haiti's devastating Jan. 12 earthquake � shuddered across the disaster-prone Andean nation.

At least 214 people were killed, according to Interior Minister Edmundo Perez Yoma, and officials said about 1.5 million homes suffered at least some damage.

Saturday's quake matched a 1906 temblor off the Ecuadorean coast as the seventh-strongest ever recorded in the world.
