A 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Chile this morning, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The quake struck as Chile prepared to inaugurate its new president.

This brings us to like a dozen huge earthquakes in barely over a month. what is going on?

"He said that he told staffers to get under desks and that three people burst into tears."

My condolences go out to those affected. I can't imagine how those people feel.

Ok this could be true, but even still.. Wasn't there a fairly large earthquake not in Chile yesterday as well? I saw a thread about it.

Seems like a lot of earthquakes. Guess it's just "earthquake season" ...
