The 8.8 earthquake struck near Concepción, Chile on February 27, 2010, and is one of the largest ever recorded. I missed the event, having left Chile on Feb. 16. Thanks to the many family and friends who have expressed concern.
Information is becoming available, though slowly. The best source I found is La Tercera, the online newspaper from Santiago. The Huffington Post has had some good links.
Google has developed a Chile earthquake person finder.
