Reports say that the USGS has detected the city of Moca as the epicenter of the earthquake.

Some areas of the city reportedly lost power, but it was restored within a shot span of time.

There are no immediate reports of damage or injuries

According to CNN: “Araceli Vega, a nurse in the hospital, told CNN that she was treating a patient when she felt the building rattle, followed by a short moment of fear and confusion.”

The world has been rattled by a few earthquakes in 2010 with the major devastating earthquakes which struck Haiti and later on Chile earlier this year, and also a Peru earthquake which took place just a few weeks ago.
