Pacific under tsunami threat after massive 8.8 quake strikes Chile



February 27, 2010 9:48 a.m. EST

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

NEW: Hawaii plans evacuations; U.S. West Coast, Alaska under tsunami watch
NEW: Quake is 1,000 times stronger than the one in Haiti
NEW: Dozens of aftershocks, one of magnitude 6.9, shake Chile
78 believed killed; death toll expected to rise

(CNN) -- A massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake rocked Chile early Saturday, killing at least 78 people and triggering tsunami warnings for the entire Pacific basin. Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said she expected the death toll to rise.  "We are taking all the necessary measures at this time," she told reporters.

Officials did not give any information on the number of those injured. The full extent of the damage was not yet known, although there were reports of collapsed buildings and hundreds of people in the streets. The capital of Santiago lost electricity and basic services including water and telephones. Bachelet said regional hospitals had suffered damage; some were evacuated. A major bridge connecting northern and southern Chile was rendered inoperable, and the Santiago airport was shut down for at least the next 24 hours.

Chilean television showed buildings in tatters in Concepcion, with whole sides torn off. At least two buildings there were engulfed in flames, and roads in the city were broken up, video showed.

Let us pray to The Lord Our God who alone is the merciful savior.
The proprietor and the giver of all mercy.
The Giver of Life and Taker.


Dear Lord God, who reigns in the heavens,
to you alone all knowledge and all majesty resounds.
Dear Father have mercy on the souls of those that were taken today,
that they may find mercy in your presence.

Dearest Father God, console the families that are in pain and those that will suffer.
Give all aid, monetary, medical and supplies to those who need it.
May your love reign in the hearts of those who are willing to help in the effort.

Dearest Father, we do not question why these things happen, but know and trust in your purpose.
That all things happen and all of these were written in the book of life.
That you alone are author.

Dearest Father, hear our prayer.

We ask this through the Name of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
And your only begotten son.
In confidence that whatever we may ask we shall receive.

In the Name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.
One God. One Lord. Forever and Ever.

Amen.

I watch this in CNN, this is really horrible. The tsunami that was expected to reach Hawaii did not materialzed, bisan pa ang mga  Pacific coastal areas including Pinas are warned of tsunami.

CNN breaking news;

-- A Pacific-wide tsunami warning has been canceled for all countries, Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reports.
