re: #275 Thanos

How big was that EQ? Magnitude vs intensity in Chile and Haiti

Thanos-

GREAT link. You can see that plate section in Chile that ruptured is *easily* 300 miles long, while that in Haiti was much more localized. A classic result of a strike-slip fault (Haiti) and a thrust fault (Chile).
