The place is 420 KM NORTH of Lima[1]. Earthquake has hit parts of Peru, towards South of Lima[2]. This is certainly a major natural disaster. Let us pray for the dead; and pray for the surviving and injured - they have a tough time ahead. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimbote 2. http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/afp/20070816/capt.sge.lhs63.160807110543.photo02.photo.default-386x512.jpg Also see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6948888.stm The epicenter is 265 KM south of Lima. -- Mahesh T.
