    8.0 M Earthquake off Chile, Tsunami generated.

    Just saw some breaking news about a 8.0 M earthquake off the Chile coast with reports of Tsunami being generated. Granted, the the coast near the epicenter is a remote and sparsely populated Atacama desert region, tsunami warnings have been issued to neighbouring countries along the Pacific.

    HK should be too far away on the other side of the Pacific to be affected by the tsunami (hopefully), but let's hope casualties and destruction are minimal for the areas near the quake.

    Although looks like NZ and maybe Fiji might be affected.
