A Tsunami Alarm Is Going Off In Chile After An Earthquake Off The Coast


Ever wondered what a tsunami warning sounds like? Australia doesn’t really have a tsunami warning system, so it’s unlikely we’ll ever hear what it does. For those wondering, it sounds freaking terrifying, as this video coming out of Chile shows.

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake was just registered off the coast of Chile according to the US Geological Survey, and now everyone has been put on high alert. It sounds chilling.

The video comes from the seaside town of Iquique, Chile. The earthquake hit 60km to the North-North West of the area.
