Downgraded to 8.3, which would still place it in the top 20 of recorded earthquakes of all time. The strongest recorded earthquake of all time was in Chile. It was 9.5 in 1960.

Damn, it's been upgraded to an 8.8. It ties for the 7th strongest earthquake ever reported. However, it's in a sparely populated area, and so the death count will be low compared to say the Haiti 7.0 that has killed around a quarter million.
