More Birthpains: 6.9 Magnitude "Extremely Dangerous" Quake in Peru

Just days after the massive quake in Turkey, we see this - a 6.9 quake in Peru:

Extremely dangerous earthquake on the coast of Central Peru

A 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit near the coast of Central Peru. Depth of the hypocenter given by USGS is 34 km. The earthquake hit at 01:54 PM local time (18:54 UTC). The earthquake was also felt in Ecuador and Brasil


Its too early to tell what the extent of damage is because communications are nonexistent due to damage:

Only very few news facts are arriving out of the epicenter area. Main reason : no power (computers) and NO or very limited telcommunications (few cell phones)
