A magnitude-7.1 earthquake shook southern Chile yesterday, frightening hundreds of people who fled for higher ground, fearing it could generate a tsunami.
There were no reports of deaths, and no tsunami alert was issued. Some mobile-phone communications were knocked out in Araucania where the quake was centred, 370 miles south-west of the capital, Santiago.
Residents of the region have fresh memories of the magnitude-8.8 quake and resulting tsunami in February 2010 that killed at least 521 people.

JAKARTA: A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Indonesia's Sumatra island on Sunday, the US Geological Survey said, but there was no tsunami warning.
The moderate quake struck at a shallow depth of 16 kilometres (10 miles) at 10:19 pm (1519 GMT), 122 kilometres southwest of Bengkulu, on southern Sumatra.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", where the meeting of continental plates causes high seismic activity, and Sumatra is particularly prone to earthquakes.
