Two things come to mind with this information.
1. It is fascinating that measurements can be made of such minute changes in the tilt of the earth.
2. An earth quake lasting about 90 seconds can affect the whole world.
It was said by a so-called expert that a similar size quake may soon be in the offing for the San Andreas here in Southern California.
If you look at how far the epicenter is from the capital Santiago, nearly 200 miles away and the damage, then look at how close down town L.A. is to parts of the San Andreas less than 50 miles, the chance of devastation here is very real.
I doubt even buildings that were built to the high standards we have in California could stand up to what they are now saying was ans 8.8 quake.
I pray we never get to find out. Mostly because fault line is only 6 miles from here and 90 seconds of that kind of shaking will cause my heart to finally give up.
