Strong Earthquake Shakes Chile

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

A 5.9 magnitude earthquake rocked Chile Wednesday evening causing buildings in the capital of Santiago to shake for a minute and driving people into the streets.

The epicenter was 37 miles southwest of the port city of San Antonio.

The quake was followed within hours by two aftershocks of 5.1 and 5.2. Chile emergency services have not reported any significant damage to infrastructure however evaluation is still happening in the region.

The initial quake, while strong enough to create a tsunami, did not result in high enough waves to cause coastline damage.
