Ground is moving! For the third time in a month we've been hit by an earthquake of M6.0 or higher. Similar magnitudes have already been destructive for Turkey or New Zealand... Here in Chile we are fairly safe though, thanks to their solid construction works. You'll just have to go through the inevitable adrenaline rush, when walls start creaking... Still, call it "terremoto" (earthquake), and you would instantly be exposed as a foreigner. Up to M6.9 it is correctly called "temblor" (harmless tremor). However, the latest strong tremors were independent, not replicas of the big earthquake 2010. If you are interested in details, Universidad de Chile's seismic service offers reliable information.
