A 6.0R earthquake has been reported half an hour ago in Chile. The epicenter is 25km South West of Illapel. The strong earthquake has caused buildings to sway in Chile’s capital
as thousands of people marched in the city’s center to demand better
social services and less economic inequality.
There were no immediate reports of damages from Monday’s earthquake. The U.S. Geological Survey put its preliminary magnitude at 6.0 and said its epicenter was located 17.4 miles (28 kilometers) southwest of Illapel, Chile near the country’s central coast. It had a depth of 49 kilometers.
We have already posted the November calendar for Chile and we can see it below where we have been expecting it since yesterday, as can be seen by the peak.
Authorities in Chile said the quake was felt in the country’s capital and central cities.
Chile is located in the so-called “Ring of Fire,” which makes it one
of the most seismic countries in the world. An 8.8-magnitude earthquake
and ensuing tsunami in 2010 killed 525 people and left 26 missing.
