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!
