On February 27, a massive 8.8 earthquake struck central Chile. I can't even image what it would be like to survive a quake like that. I've learned now that the old Richter Scale doesn't work well for earthquakes larger than 7. The U.S. Government now uses a "Moment Magnitude" scale, which is somehow even scarier.
If we can get help to the Chileans, who are under "a state of catastrophe", please let's do so.
