There was a major earthquake in Chile. So soon after the terrible devastation from a major earthquake in Haiti is very disconcerting. The loss of life was tremendous in Haiti – over 100,000 people died. But early reports from the 8.8 quake in Chile is more hopeful – less than 100 have died. Chile gets a lot of credit for having tough building codes and being better prepared to deal with earthquakes than Haiti.
