Earthquake in Chile 8.3

This river-tsunami is allegedly related to the quake, according to Philip Francis who posted it in Electric Cosmology FB group, but I wonder if the footage might rather be from some flash floods that hit Chile just recently. Video published on September 17. Massive force.

No, that's not related to the earthquake. It's due to torrential rains a few months ago:

So glad to know you are both OK. And do take care, I saw there have been aftershocks, so keep up your awareness and take some time for yourselves to process the shock. An 8.3 earthquake just sounds so scary! :hug2:
 
Another earthquake (6.3) hit pretty close to the earlier one. :scared:
Take care you guys.

6.2, 5.3-magnitude quakes strike off Chile coast - USGS
Fresh 6.2- and 5.6-magnitude quakes, with epicenters 90 kilometers northwest of Valparaíso and 92 kilometers west of Ovalle respectively, have struck Chile’s coast, the US Geological Survey (USGS) reported. This comes after the powerful 8.3-magnitude earthquake on Wednesday, September 17, that left 11 people dead, 20 others injured and caused two-meter high tsunami waves. Nearly one million people were evacuated from the Pacific coastal areas.

This is very strange... in the morning there was a strong earthquake (6 degrees) and freshly, about 15 minutes ago, another strong earthquake; 6.6 degrees.

British Columbia has had 3 earthquakes in the last 7 days. BC is in the same neck of the woods as Seattle, WA. We are 10 days from Oct.

I came across an article in which the author was saying that the earthquake(s) in Chile were linked to the quakes in British Columbia (and possibly others I think). I've been unable to find this article again. It did get me to thinking about the session speculation re something big happening in latter part of Sept and the Cs said 'Wait for October!'. They also previously indicated that Seattle would get a 10 earthquake.

Here's link re earthquakes in British Columbia:

I thought I saw an article like that too, but I can't find it either. Anyway, the link you suggest may be in the idea of sudden ruptures of long segments of subduction zones. Of course, one of these zones is Cascadia - southern British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and northern California. The Cascadia subduction zone, like the one off Chile, has a history of producing earthquakes from what I understand. Not that you don't know that. :)
 
According to an August 25th press release by the national seismological centre of the university of Chile in a newspaper, the region where this earthquake, and subsequent aftershocks was named the "seismic lake" (laguna sismica) because all major earthquakes occurred outside of this region for a hundred years.

This might suggest that the patterns of earthquakes are changing and that they might occur in previously "calm" regions. Regions that have been stable for some time may be destabilizing.

In trying to find the previously referenced article, I came across this one:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/chile-earthquake-1.3231382

Seeing that this site - http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thisisthat/baby-proof-house-of-commons-two-man-choir-lost-train-volunteer-mcdonald-s-1.3224546/canadian-rail-company-has-no-explanation-after-47-car-train-goes-missing-1.3224670 - just put out a bogus/satirical article, I was reluctant to take it seriously.

In the comments, a Canadian had this to say:

"Remember that the Richter Scale is logarithmic, so a difference of one does NOT mean that a, say, 9.3 quake is twice as powerful as an 8.3 quake. It is ten times as powerful. So the difference between yesterday's 8.3 quake in Chile and a possible 9.3 plus Cascadia quake is truly monstrous, and very well worth noting. Remember, the Nazca plate has been releasing pressure on a pretty regular basis, whereas the Cascadia subduction zone has been locked for about 315 years now. A full rupture now could produce one of the (or perhaps THE) strongest quakes ever measured."

This does not make sense. If the Cascadia subduction zone has been locked for about 315 years, how then is the area experiencing all the earthquakes that have been happening this year and years preceding as shown at earthquaketrack.com?

Well, medical pot IS legal in Canada . . .
 
A few minutes ago (It's a little more than four in the morning) another earthquake 6.4 degrees with very underground sound just happen, but the truth is that today much tremble. Cheers
