Five confirmed dead in 8.2-magnitude quake in ChileFIVE people have died in a 8.2-magnitude earthquake that hit off Chilean northern coast Tuesday, according to Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo.
According to the University of Chile Seismological Service, the powerful tremor hit off northern Chilean coast at 8:46 p.m. local time (2346 GMT) and the epicenter, with a depth of 44 km, is located 99 km northwest of the mining port of Iquique, near the Peruvian border. The U.S. Geological Survey has initially reported the quake at 8.0 magnitude.
Chilean National Office for Emergency said more than 10,000 people in some coastal cities have been evacuated. Power went out and communications were affected in some areas where landslides blocked some roads and highways to the region.
The Office also said 300 inmates escaped from a women's prison in the city of Iquique and the military was sending a planeload of special forces to prevent looting.
Xiao Feng, vice consul of the Chinese Consulate General in Iquique told Xinhua that the quake was so strong that a lot of office equipment was knocked down.
At least 10 strong aftershocks, including a 6.2 tremor, occurred so far after the major quake.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has said the quake generated a large tsunami with the biggest wave reported at 2.3 meters. The Chilean navy said tsunami waves have hit some coastal areas.

Stolen Gauguin hung in auto worker’s kitchen for 40 years
ITALY said yesterday it had recovered a painting worth millions of euros by Paul Gauguin, stolen in London in 1970, bought by an Italian factory worker for a pittance and hung in his kitchen for almost 40 years.
The French artist’s “Fruit on a table or small dog” was stolen from a house in the British capital along with “Woman with two chairs” by Pierre Bonnard, and they were recovered together in Italy from the pensioner, who used to work for Italian auto giant Fiat.
The Gauguin painting is worth between 10 and 30 million euros (US$13 and US$41 million) while the Bonnard is valued at some 600,000 euros, Italy’s heritage police said.
The paintings turned up in a lost property department at a train station and were sold at auction in 1975 to the Fiat factory worker, who bought them for 45,000 Italian lire, or 23 euros.
“It’s an incredible story, an amazing recovery. A symbol of all the work which Italian art police have put in over the years behind the scenes,” Italy’s Culture Minister Dario Franceschini told journalists.
The paintings by the French artists were found last month after a lengthy investigation, which began when police received a tip-off that they may have been stolen.
Investigators trawled through back catalogues of exhibitions from the time of the theft, from which the 1889 Gauguin mysteriously disappeared after it was stolen.
They then used newspaper reports about the 1970s theft to trace the paintings to the London-based family.
“The two paintings were presumably left on a train from Paris to Turin,” said Mariano Mossa, who heads up the heritage police.
“They were bought by an art-loving worker, who hung them for 40 years in his kitchen, first in Turin then in Sicily, after he retired,” he said.
The Gauguin had been cut out of its frame by the thieves and now measures 46.5 centimeters by 53 centimeters, down from its original size of 49 centimeters by 54 centimeters.
Italy opened a special department to investigate art thefts in 1969, the world’s first.
The heritage police manages the largest data bank on stolen art in the world, with details on some 5.7 million objects.
Last year they found a painting by Russian-born Jewish artist Marc Chagall, “Le Nu au Bouquet,” in a private collector’s home in Bologna that had been stolen from a US tycoon’s yacht in Italy in 2002.
