Chile, 2015

Chile experienced an 8.3-magnitude earthquake on September 17th, 2015. The quake’s epicenter was located off the country’s coast, and 25 minutes after the initial shockwaves, a tsunami hit the town of Tongoy. About 1 million people were evacuated in the country, and tsunami warnings were issued in Japan, Russia, New Zealand, California, and Hawaii due to the disaster. Chile was also the site of the strongest earthquake ever, a 9.5-magnitude quake that occurred in 1960.
