with aftershocks

4-18-2023 A strong quake jolted us. My "guess-timate" is a 6.0+
Please give further details when you get the chance.
I got a suspicion that in the area of the epicenter, damage could be severe?

UPDATE
Thanks Z Rob for the rapid reply, correcting the intensity rating to 5.2.

There have been dozens of aftershocks, at least three registering 4.0 or more. The big one and all the aftershocks have all occurred just offshore of Papanoa.

There's supposed to be a national simulacro today at 11 a.m., but I think I'll pass. Last time they had one we had a major earthquake practically at the same time. I suspect our position relative to the sun is related to their occurrence in our region in both the spring and fall.
