A magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck Peru on Sunday, collapsing a 16th-century Catholic church tower although no deaths or serious injuries were immediately reported. It was 5:52 local time when the earthquake struck the sparsely populated region. The quake had a focal depth of 112.5 kilometers(70 miles). The epicenter was 25 miles northwest of Barranca, a coastal city of 63,000 people about 100 miles north of Lima. Photos from the scene showed the rubble of the collapsed 45-foot historic church tower. Social media also showed photos of damage elsewhere in the region. The earthquake was felt across the country's northeastern border in Colombia. The mayor of Jalca Grande, Walter Culqui told RPP Noticias that, of the 3,000 families in the city, "60 or 70%" had some damage to their homes. There still may be a lot going on in the world. I will continue to keep the world posted.
