Reporting from Bogota, Colombia - The death toll is expected to rise from
a devastating earthquake that struck Chile early Saturday morning and
President Michelle Bachelet declared parts of her country catastrophe
zones.
Interior Minister Edmundo Perez Yoma told reporters at a midday news
conference that the magnitude 8.8 quake with an epicenter 60 miles
offshore from the port city of Concepcion had left at least 122 dead.
The first television transmission of the damage showed collapsed highway
overpasses and buildings in south Santiago, the capital, and in
Concepcion. As many as 30 aftershocks, some of magnitude 6.0 or higher,
continued to strike the region throughout the day.
Coastal cities throughout the eastern Pacific region from Acapulco to
Hawaii were bracing for possible tsunamis.
In Hawaii, civil defense sirens sounded at 6 a.m. local time alerted
residents to the expected arrival of a tsunami of 3 feet to 6 feet by
midday.
Waves measuring more than 6 feet had struck the Chilean island of Juan
Fernandez, Yoma said. the port city of Talcahuano was also struck by ocean
surges. The Vina del Mar International Song Festival, taking place near
the port city of Valparaiso, was suspended until further notice.
President-elect Sebastian Pinera, who takes office in two weeks, told
reporters that in addition to scores of deaths the country had suffered
serious damage to its infrastructure, including highways airports and
housing.
This earthquake has delivered a tremendous blow to Chilean society, Pinera
said. "Our government will do everything for the recovery and to
accelerate reconstruction."
International relief efforts will be stretched thin in Chile, as efforts
to deal with the devastation of Haiti's earthquake in January are still
continuing.
