Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Chile was rocked by a magnitude 8.8 earthquake centered 200 miles (317 kilometers) southwest of Santiago near the main winemaking region. Dozens of people were killed and tsunami warnings were issued across the Pacific.The quake struck at 3:34 a.m. offshore from the province of Maule at a depth of 22 miles (35 kilometers), according to the U.S. Geological Survey Web site. At least 64 people have been killed, Chilean Interior Minister Edmundo Perez told reporters.“Amid such a major earthquake we can’t rule out that the death toll will rise,” President Michelle Bachelet said at a televised press conference. “We will provide information as soon as we have it.”Power and phone connections were disrupted and Santiago residents waited in the street amid fears of aftershocks, pictures on CNN+ showed. The quake’s focus was 70 miles north of Concepcion, Chile’s second city, close to the vineyards of the Curico valley. While the world’s largest underground copper mine, El Teniente, is 180 miles from the epicenter, most of the country’s copper deposits are at least 500 miles to the north.
