People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Chile, Santiago, 152 km (94 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been
