An earthquake of 8.3 magnitude hammered the Chilean coast on Wednesday, September 16, leaving 12 dead and five missing, local officials said. Hardest hit was the coastal community of Coquimbo, where 1 million people in the region were forced to evacuate, and a tsunami wave 15 feet high lobbed boats up onto the city’s promenades.
