The Earthquake that struck the Santiago, Chile area this morning has been upgraded to an 8.8 Magitude on the famed Richter scale.  It is also being reported that a tsunami has already hit one of the coastal areas in Chile.

A tsunami warning was issued for Chile and Peru by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, and a tsunami watch was issued for Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Antarctica.


Soon after, the U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had generated a tsunami that may have been destructive along the Chilean coast near the epicenter.
