Notice that the earthquake 9.5 in Chile is a "maybe" data, because the instruments on that time have that max magnitude and the needle was hitting the top for ten minutes....

Sometimes we feel Chile earthquakes in Brazil, but it's so weak it barely tickles. I remember one time I thought it was a truck going down the street, but things kept shaking for almost 2 minutes and i thought "it must be a BIG truck" :')
