SANTIAGO, Chile There are
reports of a strong earthquake in southern Chile. Scientists say the
tremor could be related to the birth of an undersea volcano in a
fjord. The area has been hit by hundreds in the last three months, all
centered in the same fjord.
The region, about
17-hundred miles south of the capital Santiago, is sparsely populated.
Preliminary reports indicate no victims or major damage, though the
governor says there was some panic in two towns. Electric power and
telephone services were briefly interrupted, and a minor landslide
damaged two houses.
The U-S Geological Survey
puts the magnitude at six-point-two.
