5.5 quake shakes area near Arequipa in Southern Peru
(LIP-wb) -- A relatively strong earthquake measured with 5.5 on the Richter scale shook Peru's southern areas of Arequipa and Ica at 11:26 a.m. local time this morning.
The epicenter was located 10 kilometers northwest of the Caravelli province in a depth of 102 kilometers.
Reports say that there are no victims and material damage is minor.
Sources of the Geophysical Institute in Arequipa said that quake may be related to a collision of the Nazca and South American earth plate.
Just a few days ago smaller quakes occurred in the district of La Joya and in the Islay province.

Funny...I didn't even notice!! My sister did, however, and was quite excited. I was laying bricks with a team of Americans and Peruvians when the locals alerted us to the tremor, but still I didn't notice. My sister, who was watching two of my children, said she had gathered them and was heading outside when the shaking subsided...I figured it was coming, though, as we have had several tremors during the evening in the last week...Add your comment
