SANTIAGO (Reuters) - A 5.3 magnitude quake was felt in the Chilean
capital, Santiago, on Sunday but there were no immediate reports of damage.
The quake followed a strong temblor in the country's south on Saturday
that caused power cuts, landslides and large waves off the nation's
Pacific coast.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake occurred at 6:22 a.m. local
time (10:22 GMT), with its epicenter 54 miles (86 kilometers) north
northeast of Chile's port city of Valparaiso, and 83 miles from Santiago.
The length of Chile is prone to earthquakes.
