7.0 Richters Strikes at Chile Just 4 Hours After Exact Moment of Full Moon!!! LOTS of Aftershocks, too!!!

The earthquake struck at 21:16 UTC and the exact moment of the Full Moon was early today at 17:11 UTC or around 12 Noon Central Time with that earthquake striking like 2 hours later. It was originally a 7.0 but seems to have been downgraded since then, and here is the list of aftershocks followed by the felt report although it is mostly small towns in Chile and as far as I could see no felt reports that were notable:

6.7 60km WNW of Iquique, Chile 2014-03-16 16:16:30
6.2 74km WNW of Iquique, Chile 2014-03-17 00:11:34
4.6 65km WNW of Iquique, Chile 2014-03-16 22:28:21
4.6 88km WNW of Iquique, Chile 2014-03-16 21:05:58
5.2 70km WNW of Iquique, Chile 2014-03-16 20:34:55
4.9 65km WNW of Iquique, Chile 2014-03-16 19:55:03
5.1 55km WNW of Iquique, Chile 2014-03-16 19:12:09

AND a couple additional that had different names.

Here's The Felt Report for my friends in South America:

Arica, Tarapacá, Chile........................9.....163 km
Calama, Antofagasta, Chile................2.....331 km
Iquique, Tarapacá, Chile.................16......64 km

Note that the full moon alert should probably run all the way through the day on Monday and at least up to around the local sunset time. I will have an update in my next EQ Blog or V-Log as to what other alerts might currently be active, but until then continue to watch for a lot more Full Moon Earthquake energy because it is a fact that we just had that 7.0 only four hours after that exact moment, so there could be more earthquakes like that one coming!!!
