« on: January 04, 2011, 08:26:36 AM »
A strong earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale rocked Araucania region, south of Chile, on Sunday. There were no reports of casualties.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake occurred at 5:20 p.m. local time (4:20 a.m. in Manila), with its epicenter at 16.9 kilometers deep, 70 kilometers north to Temuco city and some 595 kilometers south to Santiago, Chile's capital.

Meanwhile, director of Chile's National Office of Emergency Vicente Nunez on Sunday rejected the risk of a tsunami.

"To the moment there are not report of injured people and damage; only the telephone lines collapsed and there were blackouts," Nunez said in a press conference.

"Chile's Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Navy and the emergency office rejected the possibility of a tsunami," Nunez added.

The earthquake was also felt in the Argentine localities of Bariloche and San Martin de los Andes, 1,630 and 1,673 km, respectively, southwest to Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
