Major 8.3 earthquake, aftershocks hit Chile

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and Chilean Emergency Service have observed tsunami waves hitting the Chilean coastline after the powerful earthquake and a number of aftershocks.

The PTWC reports that tsunami waves reaching more than 3 meters are possible along some parts of the coast.

Tsunami waves 1 to 3 meters high are also possible along parts of the coasts of the French Polynesia.

The PTWC recommended that government agencies “inform and instruct any coastal populations at risk.”
