CCTV is reporting a series of aftershocks with maximum magnatue 7.2 have hit Chile within the last hour and a precautionary Tsunami alert has been issued warning people in costal regions to move to higher ground.
The quake was centered on land near Santiago.
Details are sketcky at this time but live reports state at least 4 significant aftershocks have occured. There are no immediate reports of major damage.
It is now about 23:15 CCT, I will try to update with links to English language reports before going to bed but at this time I find no internet postings.
