wow, 8.8 Quake in Chili...
Boy the CNN "expert" is an moron... he happily goes on to say, that this one is an 8.8... and that's more then the 7 they had in Haiti..well duh.
"an 8 would be 32 times stronger then a 7.. and this is an 8.8, that's almost 64 times stronger"
WRONG.
It's more like 600 times stronger!
7 = 32 Megaton of TNT
x32
8 = 1 Gigaton of TNT
x32
9 = 32 Gigaton of TNT
an 8.8 by my calculations, that would be around 19 Gigatons... or roughly 600 times stronger then the one in Haiti.
