Reports coming in highlight a significant tsunami was generated.  Impact
to Hawaii would be 11:19am HST.
8.8 Earthquake assessment
Initial reports ~50 confirmed dead;
Population; Shaking Felt
3,000,000; Severe
9,772,000;  Strong - Very Strong

Concepcion with a population of 650k or more has initial reports of
severe to catastrophic damage.  Very limited communication with this
region so far.  Santiago is experiencing moderate to heavy damage
depending on the structure type.  Some reports of collapsed structures.
Power is out in most of the capital.  Starting to come back in areas
already though.  Debris and damaged roads are making travel difficult.
Airport is shut down while structural assessments are being conducted.
There is a major bridge connecting the north & south near the city of
Talco. Reports have the bridge as being destroyed.
