Right on the edge of town. News showed some significant damage
They were lucky, it could have been much worse

as well.

Wow, that's a pretty strong earthquake! I hope everyone in the affected areas is safe and that there isn't too much damage. It's crazy how something like an earthquake can knock out power and divert flights. Mother Nature can be unpredictable. Stay safe, everyone!
