I think horsie read his assignment wrong -- there's been a cluster of quakes in the Panama-Costa Rica region yesterday, including this one at 6.5
Horsie is supposed to be in Panama, not Peru.

Hola Nully,

I'm in the area where in 1970 a huge quake hit the area. A big piece of ice fell off of Huascaran and created a landslide that travelled down slope at high velocity and buried a town. Over 16,000 people were buried in the town of Jungay, and incredibly, over 70,000 people were killed by the quake in the entire valley. Huaraz, the city in Loddy's photo was 80% destroyed.
Nice place.
