🍃 A magnitude-5.3 earthquake shook waters 50 km southwest of Ovalle, Chile, late Wednesday night, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported. The quake struck at 11:20 p.m. local time, with a shallow depth of 14 km. No immediate damage or casualties have been reported.
💥 Chile, part of the seismically active 'Ring of Fire,' is no stranger to tremors—think of it as nature’s version of a trending TikTok challenge, but with real-world stakes. While this quake wasn’t 'earth-shattering' (pun intended), locals felt mild shaking, a reminder to always keep emergency kits ready. (Pro tip: Follow protocols like you’d follow a viral dance tutorial—carefully!)
📉 Experts say the offshore location likely minimized impact on populated areas. Still, authorities urge residents to stay alert for aftershocks. For travelers or expats in Chile: bookmark @emsc for real-time updates—it’s like having a seismic weather app!
