The earth changes are getting increasingly rampant across the globe as a massive 6.9 earthquake strikes Peru.

An excerpt from Bloomberg reads;

A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck off the west coast of Peru, rattling residents in cities still recovering from a temblor that killed more than 500 people in 2007. No fatalities were immediately reported.

The temblor knocked out power and sent people running from their homes near its center, 286 kilometers (178 miles) south- southeast ofLima. In Ica, which was devastated by the magnitude-8 quake in 2007, a cathedral wall and church tower collapsed, along with several mud brick buildings, said Juan Carlos Romani, a spokesman for the city council.

“It was very strong but quick,” Romani said in a telephone interview from Ica, adding power and phone service hadn’t fully returned. “It lasted ten seconds at most but was very violent.”

The U.S. Geological Survey reported a magnitude 5 aftershock about 90 minutes after the initial temblor.

Most of the collapsed homes were built of adobe officials said.
