An 8.3-magnitude earthquake struck near the central coast of Chile Wednesday, sparking fears of tsunami waves as far as Hawaii, officials said.

The earthquake struck 44 miles west-northwest of Illapel, and north of Santiago, at 6:54 p.m., the U.S. Geological Survey said. It said the earthquake was the largest to hit the area in over 100 years.

They had a big quake last year.

Looks like we're going to get some high waves from the Tsunami action.

I live on a Tsunami escape route.

What 2 or 3" from Chile?

In Washington state all you have to do is drive away for the ocean and you start going up hill in most areas.

I don't know what, if anything we got, but you could see a lot of boats this morning.  They were also warning people to stay off the beach for several hours.
