8.8 Earthquake hits Chile, tsunami warning for Hawaii Saturday afternoon

Well thanks Chile, we lost 1.26 milliseconds of our days from here on out...just for a comparison, an eyeblink is 300-400 milliseconds.

Dude, that's nearly a second every 2 years! Tell my it's no big deal when day is night and night is day in 86,000 years

The magnitude-8.8 earthquake that rocked the west coast of Chile last month was violent enough to move the city of Concepcion at least 10 feet to the west and the capital, Santiago, about 11 inches to the west-southwest, researchers said.

The quake also shifted other parts of South America, as far apart as the Falkland Islands and Fortaleza, Brazil.


The results were reached via global positioning satellite measurements taken before and after the February 27 quake by teams from The Ohio State University, the University of Hawaii, the University of Memphis and the California Institute of Technology, as well as agencies across South America.

Just another example of Ohio State rocks.
