The world is still trying to get over the devastation caused by the earthquake that hit Haiti last week, which has left thousands dead and many more homeless and now we are hearing reports of an earthquake elsewhere in the world.
According to a recent report at The Canadian Press, a strong earthquake measuring 6.0 shook El Salvador and Guatemala today, but there have been no immediate reports on dame or injuries in either of the countries.
The U.S. Geological Survey says that the earthquake hit on Monday morning, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) southwest of Guatemala City. There were reports of some shaking in the Guatemalan countryside, as well as in El Salvador.
Civil protection officials in both countries say that so far there have been no reports of injuries or damage, although authorities are still checking. According to reuters.com, it was only a light movement that lasted a few seconds.
