An 8.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Chile early Saturday (February 27), 1.5 Million where affected and now there are 300 reported killed by the massive earthquake and resulting tsunami that wrecked the coast of Chile and waved itself going to the Pacific Ocean. The president of Chile, Michelle Bachlet appeals to her people to be strong on the challenge that their country is facing. Right now humanitarian relief is now on its way to Chile and US President Barack Obama officially aid to the Chileans including Russia, Argentina and United Nations. Here is the video of the CNN report during the Chile 8.8 Earthquake News Break.
Now that the tsunami fanned its way to Pacific Ocean and already affects Hawaii now Japan experienced 4.4 magnitudes. Philippines raised the alert on level 2, news posted on the Inquirer.net saying that people still remains on the near shore area “Tsunami alert fails to keep Digos (Davao del Sur) residents from beaches” the problem is that despite of the alert some of the Filipinos are not listening on the warning, but when accidents happen they became victims and point fingers to authorities. It a matter of discipline though Philvocs already gives their warning on the possible effects of the tsunami in the Philippines around 1-2:30 pm this Sunday (February 28).
