Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported a magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck just off the coast of Chile Thursday.
The quake was centered 35 miles southwest of Coquimbo at depth of 6.6 miles according to USGS estimates.
The quake caused buildings to sway in the capital city of Santiago although no major damage has been reported. The off-shore quake was not expected to cause a widespread tsunami according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center but that local tsunamis are possible within approximately 60 miles of the epicenter.
Chile is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
