Big quake, not much damage
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An earthquake rocked a broad section of South America and was felt in Canada, but there were no reports of casualties or major damage, AP reports from La Paz. The quake, centred 200 miles from the Bolivian capital, was unusually deep - about 400 miles underground. Because of this, 'there pretty much won't be much damage', said Jim Mori of the US Geological Survey. It caused power-cuts in Chile and Bolivia and sent people running into the streets.
