I don't recall there ever being a quake past 700km. Ever. I could be mistaken.

The magnitude of the quake coming from this one is going to be on Dutchsinse page.

I am likely going to add to this post through day, I just woke up. Need coffee. This is different. Its the "equator".

So take 3.8 and add 1.6 for upcoming (its reverberating outwards) quake and its a 5.4 expected.

Ecuador has 27 noted volcanoes
