SANTIAGO (Reuters) -Emergency authorities on Friday withdrew a spate of tsunami warnings they briefly issued following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the Drake Passage, a stretch of water between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and Chile's SHOA marine authority had briefly issued tsunami warnings after the quake, whose depth the United States Geological Survey estimated at 10 km (6.21 miles), but lifted these around an hour later.
