Magnitude 6.8 earthquake strikes Bolivia - The Washington Post:
The Washington Post reports: "A powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Bolivia on Monday, but it was so deep that there were no reports of injuries or damage. [...] The San Calixto Observatory in La Paz said that it is one of the most powerful quakes on record in Bolivia, but that there was no damage because it was so deep. Only light tremors were felt in Bolivia’s capital and other cities. But the quake caused people to evacuate office buildings that swayed as far away as Sao Paulo, Brazil, some 1,800 miles (3,000 kilometers) from Tarija."

Comment: They are very lucky such a large quake did not strike closer to the surface, it could have caused major damage.
