Chile quake kills 5, evacuated 1.0m

The magnitude-8.3 quake just offshore rattled Chileans, killing five people and shaking the Earth so strongly the tremor was felt in places across South America. Authorities worked into the early hours Thursday assessing damage in several coastal towns that saw flooding from small tsunami waves set off by the quake.
Authorities said early Thursday that five people had been killed and one person was listed as missing.
President Michelle Bachelet urged people who evacuated from coastal areas to stay on high ground until authorities could fully evaluate the situation during the night. Officials said schools would be kept closed in most of the country Thursday, according to BBC.
