Sangay is the nearest active volcano in Ecuador.

Man alive, I went for an afternoon nap earlier today, and dream't of 2 largish earthquakes in the same approx area. One of 6.2 near Ecuador followed by a 7.7 in Northern Peru!

Surprised after a hour there are no aftershocks.

Nothing happened this time!

Epicenter was in Amazonas not Barranca, same place where there was a 7+ earthquake not to long ago.

Very scarsely populated areas. No cities, just small villages, of abput ten one story houses.

Bet that got the Guarani medicine man dancing a jig.

earthquakes shake places that got shook before
