Chilean ground trembles with 90+ aftershocks

CONCEPCION, Chile (AP) -- Aftershocks to one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded continue to rock Chile.

Ninety aftershocks of magnitude 5 or greater have shuddered across the disaster prone Andean nation within 24 hours of the initial, 8.8 magnitude quake. One was nearly as powerful as Haiti's devastating Jan. 12 earthquake.
