What a 6.2 quake in the coastal town of Ica, Peru does for you

What your author can tell you is that a 6.2 mag quake, such as the one felt by the city of Ica on the coast of Peru tonight, isn't normally of the intensity that brings down buildings, kills numbers of people and makes world headlines. It's not something humanity will care about much or ever remember in its vast and copious history, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

But a 6.2 at just 42km depth is enough to scare the holy blessed and divine shit out of you. That I can personally guarantee and swear on any sacred book you care to mention.
