[SuperMen]

Nothing on line that I see at this time but the alert banner on the Fox news site. I am sure some of you know where to find more information.

WOW! 8.3! Two in the same day that are that huge? I type "earthquake" and "chile" on google and there are a lot of people "Tweeting" about it.

I hope someone updates soon about it.

Pray for the safety of the people!

You guys beat me to it, lol, one step closer to the RAPTURE!!!!

Wow, that was quick! I just saw this on Fox.

Fox reported that the area that was hit is the 2nd largest populated area in Chile. I pray that people there are safe and that the earthquake hit far enough away to not do too much damage in human lives.

They said it was around 36 miles deep...that still seems shallow is it not? I really am lost when it comes to this subject. They also said there are blackouts so it must have shacken things a bit.

Big one over 7.0 magnitude off the coast of Japan earlier today too. Actually sparked a tsunami warning that fortunately didn't pan out.

There are earthquakes in diverse places all right.


Just tried to tell my wife a little more about the last days and Jesus' return. She really dislikes when I do that. She just turned up the TV and basically ignored me.

Aaaaye! I hate when that happens. I have a friend that's like that. They find it distressing, rather than glorious. Or they choose to ignore it all together. Best of luck; i'll pray.
