A strong magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck Chile on Monday, according to the United States Geological Survey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The quake struck at 5:52 p.m. Chilean summer time about 19 miles east of Calama, Chile, agency data shows.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As seismologists review available data, they may revise the reported intensity of an earthquake. Additional information collected about earthquakes may also lead USGS scientists to update the earthquake-severity map.<\/p>\n

When aftershock data is available, related maps and charts include earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days of the initial earthquake. All times above are Chilean Summer Time. Shake data is as of Monday, May 25 at 6:20 PM Eastern. Aftershock data is as of Monday, May 25 at 9:37 PM Eastern.<\/p>\n
