The 2010 Chile earthquake occurred near Santiago with a magnitude of 8.8. Over 800 lives were lost and widespread power outages occurred in Santiago from the shaking. A tsunami warning was issued for Chile and Peru with waves reaching over 30 meters. Aftershocks caused additional deaths from building collapses and car accidents. The earthquake is compared to other large quakes in Haiti, Sumatra, and Alaska in terms of magnitude and loss of life. Cooperation and fundraising efforts are important to help those affected.
