6.0 on th richter scale
Jan 18, 2010 Melanie Zoltan

The United States Geological Service recorded an earthquake in Guatemala that measures 6.0 on the Richter scale on January 18, 2010, six days after the Haiti earthquake.

Earthquake activity in Central America and the Caribbean increased sharply in January 2010, as a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010 and the United States Geological Service (USGS) released data that shows a 6.0 magnitude earthquake hit the Central American nation of Guatemala at approximately 10:40am eastern standard time on Monday, January 18, 2010.

Guatemala Earthquake
According to the USGS, the earthquake was centered approximately 60 miles south-southeast of Guatemala City and 65 miles west of San Salvador, El Salvador. The epicenter was located 64.2 miles deep, 24 miles west-southwest of Ahuachapin, El Salvador.

No injuries or fatalities have been reported, although shaking could be felt by residents in both countries.

Guatemala experienced a 6.1 magnitude earthquake in 2009, and a 5.2 magnitude earthquake on January 1, 2010. The most severe earthquake to strike Guatemala in recent history was in 1976, a 7.5 magnitude quake just 5 km deep. That earthquake struck at 3am, while most people were sleeping, and killed more than 23,000 people and injured three times as many people. Adobe structures in the area were destroyed by the quake. A 1991 quake hit a small city, San Miguel Pochuta, destroying 80% of the town and killing 25 people, but causing no damage in wider areas.

Haiti Earthquake
Unlike the Haiti earthquake that struck that country on January 12, 2010, the Guatemala earthquake began 64.2 miles underground, while the quake in Haiti was just 5 miles deep, affecting a wider area and causing significant damage, mortality, and morbidity in Haiti. Initial reports from Guatemala and its neighbor El Salvador indicate that this January 18, 2010 earthquake has not caused significant damage or injury.

I highly doubt that that earthquake in Chile moved the earth... I am more to the liking that Nibiru/Wormwood did though... but hay not being a Scientist at least the world won't get mad at me if I'm wrong.
