Powerful Quake rocks Chile year after disaster

     An 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the same region on Saturday, nearly a year after a massive temblor and tsunami killed 500 people and totaled $30 billion in damage. The strong quake was followed by several aftershocks with magnitudes of 5.9 and 6.1 in the same area. The epicenter occurred somewhere in the Pacific approximately 70 miles from the city of Concepcion. Some residents evacuated coastal areas as a precaution, but as of now, no causalities have been reported. In 2005, the same area was heavily damaged by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake and on February 27,2010, a tsunami.
