So i went to read on it and it's reported:
"The powerful earthquake that shook Chile on Saturday probably shifted the Earth's axis and made days slightly shorter, a NASA scientist said.
If, indeed, the planet's axis did shift by eight centimeters during the Chilean quake, days would have shortened by 1.26 microsecsonds, Gross calculated.
A microsecond is one-millionth of a second, so no need to adjust watches just yet."
Nothing panicky as compared to the earthquake that just happened.
