Today I learned many things about the earthquake and tsunemi that hit Chile. First, the earthquake in Chile occured at 1:34 a.m. The earth quake hit close to a Chile city named Concepsion and the capital, Santiago. The earthquake lasted for 90 seconds in Santiago!! Sadly, the earthquake at least killed 214 people. Some people say that this was caused because Chile is located Close to the Ring of Fire.
Later 24 hours before that, there was a tsunami warning in Hawaii and Alaska warning because weatherologists predicted a tsunami that was going to hit Hawaii, but some how it turned to the South and it hitted Chile after the terrifying earthquake. Other countries like hawaii and japan received a minor strike (I got this paragraph's info by a TV program that I saw the day after the Chile earthquake and tsunami).
