A tsunami caution issued after an intense 7.6-greatness tremor off the shore of southern Chile has now been lifted.
The tremor struck at 14:22 GMT on the island of Chiloe, around 40km (25 miles) south-west of Quellon, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.
Its profundity was around 34km.
Chile's national crisis office issued a ready and requested the departure of beach front zones of Los Lagos area.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center had cautioned that unsafe influxes of up to 3m (9ft 10in) above tide level were conceivable on coasts situated up to 1,000km from the shudder's epicenter.
However, it later said: "In light of every single accessible dat, the torrent danger from this quake has now passed."
"I've lived for a long time in the south and never felt something to that effect," an occupant who was going out said.
Chile's President Michelle Bachelet tweeted: "Much quality and support to the countrymen influenced by the tremor in Chile and different regions in the south. Crisis methods are as of now set up."
