A powerful earthquake has hit central Chile,
causing
buildings to sway in the capital Santiago,
officials say.
The 8.3-magnitude tremor centred off the coast,
about 144
miles (232km) north-west of the capital.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center warned
that
“widespread hazardous tsunami waves are
possible”.
There were no immediate reports of damage,
but evacuation
was ordered in coastal areas. Tsunami sirens
were heard in
the port of Valparaiso.
The earthquake struck just off the coast at 19:54
local
times (22:54 GMT). Officials say it was at the
depth of
about 10km.
The US Geological Survey initially reported the
tremor as
magnitude 7.9, but then quickly revised the
reading to 8.3.
Several strong aftershocks were reported just
minutes
later.
“Tsunami waves reaching more than three
metres above the
tide level are possible along some coasts of
Chile,” the
Pacific Tsunami Warning Center later warned.
It also also issued a tsunami watch for Hawaii.
