Originally, the USGS reported that the earthquake was a Magnitude 7.1. Reports of shaking came from towns further inland, including Santiago, the nation's capital and largest city. 

In the hours after the quake, 10 aftershocks struck Chile. Scientists said they expect aftershocks to continue through Monday evening.
