An 8.8 and very shallow too (no I am not talking about your length and personality!), Chile's world was rocked big time, and being a Kiwi I have to bring a local focus into this (and also because I live 15 minutes from Napier too)... From a local internet rag http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=21495 "...surges were recorded at the port of Napier: about a dozen in 2.5 hours. Ships in the port were ordered to sea."
Now Napier is 9,300 Km (or 5,800 Miles for those who can't get out of the Imperial system) from Chile (about the same distance as Hawaii, although Hawaii is in the North Pacific Ocean and NZ is South), the moral of the story is boys and girls, that when Mother Nature feels liek being a bitch it is a good time to be somewhere else 
Fortunatley Chile has a pretty good infrastructure and seems far more capable than poor little Haiti, so at this stage although they got a bigger punch, it is quite likely they will not come off quite as badly as Haiti, still dead is dead and I am happy not to be there.
Maybe this isn't a good sign, our propeller heads have been saying for a while that NZ is about 200 years overdue for a humdinger - who wants a new island in the Hauraki Gulf ?
