Reports of a 6.8-magnitude earthquake, which was revised down from 7.2-magnitude earlier has shaken Chile 67 kilometers or 42 miles from Constitucion, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake was felt across central and south Chile, swaying buildings in the capital Santiago, though there have been no reports of injuries or damages to basic services.
The reason why this is big news is that it is too close for comfort to the world's strongest quake.
