Heather and I were sitting on our beds and we felt shaking and I did not think anything of it at first and Heather goes, We're having an earthquake! It was just a slight shake but a very noticeable one. So I called Kevin and the first thing he says is, yeah I felt that too! ha ha! It was far away from here so we just felt a tiny bit of what it was but here's a report on it that we found online today...
A 6.0 Richter scale rattled Northern Peru early today (May 18), at 11:15 p.m. Local Time (4:00 a.m. GMT), according to the Geophysics Institute of Peru.
The epicenter was located at 219 km of depth and 46 away from Bagua Grande, in Amazonas region.
The earthquake was felt in Chachapoyas, Moyobamba, Rioja, Cajamarca, and even in Trujillo, a Northern Coast city located 270 away, reported local media, but no victims have been reported yet.
However, there were reports of some power outages and some adobe (traditional mud-made bricks) houses may have been damaged.
The United States Geological Survey reported an official magnitude of 6 Richter scale and clarifies that it has not issued any tsunami warning.
