The Chilean navy's hydrographic and oceanographic service said there is no possibility of a tsunami, reported the Associated Press, but authorities still had people move to higher ground along 500 miles of coastline — from the city of Constitucion to Tongoy — as a precaution.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen — who were in Santiago after attending the Summit of the Americas in Colombia — were awakened by the earthquake, according to The Globe and Mail.

"The Prime Minister and his wife were at the hotel when the earthquake happened," said Andrew MacDougall, Harper's director of communications, to the Globe. "All members of the Canadian delegation, including the prime minister, and his wife, Laureen, are just fine."

Conservative Member of Parliament Randy Hoback also wrote about the earthquake through his Twitter account, saying, "With PM in Chile. Just experienced Earthquake. Everything A ok! Just freaky!"
