A major earthquake of 7.2 magnitude hit central Chile on Sunday, the US Geological Survey said.
The epicenter was 60 miles (96 km) northwest of Temuco at a depth of 20.5 miles, it said.
"No destructive widespread tsunami threat exists based on historical and tsunami data," said the Hawaii-based Tsunami Center.
Chile, the world's top copper producer, has seen its economy surge on the heavy spending to rebuild cities ravaged by a quake in February last year and record prices for its main export.

oh my god!!!!!!!!!! That's a huge one and sorry for the people and for the rest of the nation and even i feel pity for the people of Indonesia as they also face the same problem and they couldn't even recover from their previous nature calamities and they will have the other one and so on. We couldn't do anything as we are powerless against nature
