Monstrous Earthquake Strikes Chili

On Saturday, a huge earthquake hit Chili. The quake reaches an 8.8 on the rictor scale. The earthquake was so big that it triggered tsunami warnings for many other nations, such as Japan and even Russia. As of now, over 300 people have died, and so many others are left with out shelter. Even though Chili was prepared for an earthquake, they are still devastated. Buildings, roads, and bridges crumbled in the quake, and the following aftershocks.

This is a horrible occurrence, but like what happened in Haiti, it is a chance for people all over the world to unite for a common goal: helping the people in Chili. Even though the earthquake that hit Chili was smaller than the one in Haiti, less people have been killed, and it will be easier for Chili to recover. However, we can all contribute to relief efforts there, in some way.
