Jungle quake

-

A powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquake struck a remote part of the Amazon jungle in Peru, collapsing buildings and knocking out power to some areas but causing only one reported death. The quake was centered in a vast nature preserve 92km east of the small town of Yurimaguas. Helping limit damage was its depth, at 114km below the surface, the US Geological Survey said.
