Chile earthquake;Hawaii Tsunami warning- whats happening throughout the world?


Days after the Haiti earthquake,,today the Chile earthquake happened that warned a Tsunami in Hawaii.The disasters are not new to the world,it's getting older gradually.
The effect of the Chile earthquake 2010 has already been widespreaded.an earthquake registering 8.8 on the Richter Scale hit the Latin American country of Chile, issueing tsunami warnings throughout the Pacific, specially, Hawaii. Hawaii tsunami warnings are quite necessary as such a powerful tremor can cause a lot of disaster & devastation, even to far away places like Hawaii. But that is just the beginning of the aftermath, as today's earthquake in Chile was quite historic and destructive on its own.
Several weeks ago Haiti was almost destroyed by a 7.0 quake. But when all is said and done, that damage may shy in comparison to what Chile experienced today. The nation experienced the largest earthquake ever recorded since 1960, and today, the Chile earthquake 2010 reached a stunning 8.8.
However, the incident is approximately 1,000 times more powerful than what struck Haiti. At least 80 people have been assured dead, though the total will likely rise as days passed.230,000 people died in Haiti, though many blamed the nation's poor infrastructure for much of it. How Chile holds up, and how their preparedness compares to Haiti, will draw a lot of attention.
The immediate aftermath of the Chile earthquake 2010 as people are anxious thinking the worst has just began. The Hawaii tsunami warning is not the only one in the area,it has been issued in 53 countries including Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rice and Antarctica. Those in the Pacific are urged to head to high ground.
The Hawaii tsunami warning and the Chile earthquake doesn't just recalled te disaster of Haiti. The absolute worst case scenario is the 2004 earthquake at the Indian Ocean, as that 9.1 quake triggered the most deadly tsunami in recent memory. Today's wave might not cause as much damage, but who wants to take chances.
