We are getting photos, rather than detailed reports, about the tsunami damage in southern Chile. The extent of damage depends on many factors, the most important being the size of the waves which hit and the number of houses and buildings level, or close to level, with the coast line. Both vary by each town.

From photographs and other limited information, here is a list of some of the towns hit by the tsunami:

Talcahuano

Conception (earthquake & tsunami)

Pueco (earthquake & tsunami)

Pellahue

Curanipe

Iloca and Duao

Beach towns washed away
Along several hundred miles of Chile’s central and southern coast, towns were reporting massive damage from the tsunami that followed the magnitude 8.8 quake. Maule, a region south of the capital Santiago, had the most confirmed deaths: 541.

Television images showed cars tossed atop shattered homes and boats lifted far from the waterfront in the coastal towns of Pelluhue and in Constitucion, where 350 deaths alone were reported.

In Llo-Lleo, survivors were searching for family and friends at a campsite where 200 cabanas were washed away.

The town of Pichilemu was hit by a 9-foot-high wave, according to Barry Keller, an American seismologist who lives on a hill above the beach town. His family told msnbc.com that Keller said the tsunami caused massive destruction in the town.

Across much of central and southern Chile, tens of thousands of people camped outside overnight. Government-run television reported that 1.5 million homes had been destroyed or declared unsafe.
