Just came across this recent Earthquake. 6.4 Magnitude and not very deep either, only 74km. I tried finding information on news websites, but like always ... Nothing.

Is anyone in Peru or know of anyone in Peru that could give us an update of how bad it is and if everyone is okay.

It has been downgraded slightly:

Kudos to your speed but at 99 km deep and 6.0 it is not really a significant earthquake.

I f you look at the link to the map the epicentre is not really a built up area.

Ah I see your original was EMSC. They still have it at 6.2 Mw

By the way

not very deep either

That actually is quite deep. The damaging quakes are usually under 30km deep.
