Massive in just now, M8.0 at depth of 70+ miles / 100+km. Hoping the rather remote location and little bit of depth has kept any damage in nearest towns to a minimum. Image via QuakeFeed app

Major earthquake in Peru. Woke up with bed shaking, light fixture swaying in Lima, where everything seems OK. Epicenter ~700km away in Peruvian Amazon (Loreto state, I think). Reports of 8.0 (USGS). People saying extended shaking felt from Bogotá to Ica to Cuenca. Quite scary.
