To put in perspective, the Gold Coast’s quake of 1.9, Chile in 1960 experienced the largest earthquake since 1900 with a 9.5 magnitude.

Approximately 1655 people were killed, 3000 were injured, 2 million were left homeless, and there was about $550 million in damage in southern Chile.

A tsunami from the earthquake caused 61 deaths, $75 million damage in Hawaii; 138 deaths and $50 million damage in Japan; 32 dead and missing in the Philippines; and $500,000 damage to the west coast of the United States.
