Yellow warning! A powerful earthquake hit Chile! 18 July, 2024 #collapse #news #weather #earthquake #climatechange #chilie #destruction #naturaldisaster A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck northern Chile near its border with Argentina late Thursday, shaking homes and causing power outages. The quake’s epicenter was 45 kilometers southeast of San Pedro de Atacama, a tourist hub on the edge of the northern desert. The trembler had a depth of 117 kilometers, which likely lessened the intensity of the shaking. Chilean President Gabriel Boric said his government was closely examining the area but “so far there are no reports of injuries or major damage.“ The quake did not activate a tsunami alarm.
