Political and Seismic Waves In Chile

09:03 H | Topics: Bolivia - Brazil - Chile - Politics

These past three days brought three separate earthquakes to Chile. This morning a magnitude-5.3 temblor struck at 6:27 a.m. near Valparaiso. Yesterday a magnitude-6.7 quake rocked northern Chile. And on Saturday afternoon, another quake rattled central Chile causing alarm in several cities, including the capital of 5.5 million people, but there were no injuries or damage.

Yesterday Chilean president Michelle Bachelet was in Bolivia along with Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva pledging to build a highway linking the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean by 2009. Relations between Bolivia and Chile have been historically strained.
