Yup it is. The Haiti Earthquake was 7 I think, and this one being 8.8.

How scary for Chile and for those who may be hit by the tsunami. I saw the death toll is up to 120. Japan had a not quite as severe earthquake today as well at 7.0 with tsunami warnings. www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/26/japan-earthquake-tsunami_n_478776.html

They said this one in Chile is 500-700 times stronger than the one in Haiti.

If you're watching CNN, everyone is waiting and watching to see if they get a tsunami wave. They did say one of the buoys about 100 miles out of Hawaii did show a 27 foot dip in the ocean, which indicates something is indeed on its way. Fascinating stuff.
