Chile’s TVN cable news channel was reporting 122 deaths, with the toll expected to rise, as communications were still spotty around the center of quake, near the city of Concepción in the south. Chile President Michelle Bachelet declared a “state of catastrophe.”
The Associated Press quoted Mrs. Bachelet as saying that a huge wave had swept into a populated area in the Robinson Crusoe Islands, 410 miles off the Chilean coast, but there were no immediate reports of major damage there. Those reports bore out early fears that a major tsunami was on its way across the Pacific.

How scary and frightening! This happened in the middle of the night, so most people were sleeping. I hope the United States and other foreign countries send aid to the people of Chile as soon as possible. They will need it.
I'm sure that people around the world will send help to the people of Chile. Croats will certainly help like always until now .
