While the sun was setting in Chile on Saturday, there was an earthquake that affected about 2 million people in some way. More than 300 people were killed and 15 were missing. The earthquake was a 8.8-magnitude quake. The earthquake occurred at a depth of nearly 22 miles. There was a lot of damage, including buildings and highways.


Our opinion is that it was shocking about all of the earthquakes that have been. We also think that it is scary that there has been a lot of earthquakes. It's a shame all of the people that have died and all of the structures destroyed. And that it is very curious that there were so many earthquakes in such a short period of time. We feel bad for all of the people that have died.
