UPDATE 17:34 UTC : Chile emergency service ONEMI has reported a max. intensity of VI MMI. these are the locations who will have a V to VI (moderate to strong shaking)
Región: Tarapacá : Alto Hospicio : VI, Camiña : IV, Huara : V, Iquique: VI, Pica : VI, Pozo Almonte : V
Región: Antofagasta : Calama: V, Quillagua: V, Tocopilla: V
ONEMI has also sais that there were NO reports of damage or injured so far.

ONEMI has also sais that there were NO reports of damage or injured so far.
UPDATE 17:32 UTC : A Chilean TV video which shows the shaking of the earthquake and people running out department stores and offices.
UPDATE 17:29 UTC : USGS has recalculated the earthquake data and modified them to :
Magnitude 6.5 @ a depth of 117 km
Magnitude 6.5 @ a depth of 117 km
UPDATE 17:15 UTC : Max. expected shaking will be moderate = V MMI

UPDATE 17:10 UTC : This earthquake will be felt far outside Chile. Also people in Peru and Bolivia and even further will feel a weak shaking. Deep earthquakes have the advantage of mostly being harmless, but the radius can go as far as thousand km.
UPDATE 17:07 UTC : Other seismological agencies data :
EMSC : 6.1 @ 100 km
GFZ : 6.3 @ 97 km
Universidad de Chile : 6.4 @ 125 km
EMSC : 6.1 @ 100 km
GFZ : 6.3 @ 97 km
Universidad de Chile : 6.4 @ 125 km
UPDATE 17:05 UTC : A just-in report for the theoretical damage prediction engine from WAPMERR confirms our earlier prediction that NOBODY will be killed or hurt.
UPDATE 17:02 UTC : Very strong earthquakes are not uncommon in this area of the world. They mostly occur with an hypocenter of more than 100 km making them harmless to some extend.
Around noon local time a very strong earthquake struck the northern Chile – Bolivia border area. Due to the depth, we beep at the moment an Orange (moderately dangerous alert level.
We are currently collecting more data.
