An 8.3-magnitude earthquake struck near the central coast of Chile Wednesday, shaking buildings and causing at least one death, officials said. Tsunami advisories were issued for the region and as far away as Hawaii.

The earthquake struck 44 miles west-northwest of Illapel, and north of Santiago, at 6:54 p.m., the U.S. Geological Survey said. It said the earthquake was the largest to hit the area in over 100 years.

Illapel Mayor Denis Cortes told TV Chile that there are reports of one death. He said the town of around 30,000 was without power.
