The northern coast of Chile was struck by an 8.3-magnitude earthquake and set off tsunami waves Wednesday night according to the associated press, sourced by Yahoo. According to Weather.com, “Chilean authorities said at least 11 people have died as a result of earthquake-related incidents, and officials continue to assess the damage as a flurry of aftershocks continues to rattle the South American country.”
Tad Walch of the Deseret News cited all LDS missionaries serving in the area affected by the earthquake are “accounted for and safe”, per Eric Hawkins, spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
