The news is just coming over the wire that there has been a massive earthquake in Chile. Early reports put the quake at just under 9 magnitude. That is enough to bring down buildings that are built to rigorous earthquake codes. An urgent Tsunami warning has also been issued. It is far too early for any reliable damage and casualty estimates. However it is bound to be terrible.
Please pray for the people of Chile.

I subscribe to an earthquake notification service and could not believe my eyes when I saw 8.0 and then the message that it had been revised to 8.8!
Pray also for all Pacific coastal areas that they are not badly hit.
