Massive quake hits Chile, at least 147 dead (LIVE STREAMING VIDEO)

Another horrific earthquake. I'm worried for all of the other islands in the Pacific Ocean and the West Coast with the tsunami warnings as well. I know this is all over the news, Julie had posted a prayer earlier.

I can't believe the sight on Waikiki Beach - empty! Not one person on the beach, thankfully. But it looks like a lot of people still seem awfully close to the water and the first tsunami wave could hit anytime!

I'm, also, worried about what could happen to the ppl that stayed close to the ocean. This was a huge earthquake and the waves will be gigantic when they hit shore.

I am not only worried about Hawaii, but also the west coast of the USA, as well as Alaska.

Prayers going out to all that are, and will be, affected by this.

Thanks for all the updates and videos, you all are awesome.

I found this video of Chile's 1960 earthquake & tsunami.

Here's the description:

1) aerial view of Chile, destroyed buildings and cities due to earthquake; tidal waves at 500 mph raced across the Pacific, hit Californai coast, hit Hilo Hawaii, hit Japan, 18,000 lives lost 2) "...

What an amazing video! I found this one while looking for Chile footage. If you watch it, you have to watch all the way to the end. It has a happy ending, but is really hard to watch.
