Decent quake. Looks to be in a relatively unpopulated area.

Magnitude was not very powerful, also fortunately EQ was 368 miles from SANTIAGO and not very shallow around 40 km depth ..

For now authorities say there are no reports of injuries or damage ..

Population 100 km - 190000 people ..

Magnitude 6.7 Earthquake Shakes Northern Chile
By AP

The quake shook the capital of Santiago, causing office buildings to sway, but was felt most powerfully in the north where state television showed images of scattered groceries at supermarket floors and broken windows at several homes in Vallenar, Copiapo and other nearby cities.

But Chile’s Emergency Office said no injuries have been reported and damages to infrastructure appear minimal. The oceanographic service discounted the possibility of a tsunami.Chile is one of the earthquake-prone countries in the world.
