Chilean Earthquake Caused Entire City to Move 10 Feet From its Previous Location 

According to an article published today on Wired.com the Chilean city of Concepcion shifted 10 feet to the West of its previous location.

The movement was tracked by GPS sensors along with analysis from Ohio State scientist Mike Bevis who has been using the system to record crust movements in Chile since 1993.

According to the article other cities also shifted, including Buenos Aires which moved an inch and is located approximately 800 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake.
