When it comes to earthquakes, a handful of countries have more than their share of tremors – however, Chile suffered the worst earthquake ever recorded in 1960. The Valdivia earthquake was a 9.5 earth-mover that struck about 100 miles off the coast of Chile, parallel to the city of Valdivia – hence the trembler’s name. The earthquake caused tsunami waves that battered Chile’s coast, and even reached as far as Japan, hitting Hawaii in its wake. – When it comes to earthquakes, lightning often strikes twice. Chile experienced another quake at the same location in 2010 – this time, an 8.8 on the Richter scale.
