Patricia and I were sleeping this morning when we felt a noise and vibration that might be caused by someone walking heavily across the wooden floor on the 3rd story of the house where we're staying. But it didn't make sense that the other student in the house would be walking and making that noise. I heard Patricia mumble something about an earthquake then the house shook back and forth. I realized Patricia in her early morning slumber had figured it out.
Turns out the epicenter of the 6.9 quake was about 170 miles northeast of Cuenca. It was about 115 miles underground and occured in the amazon jungle region of the country - are area that is not heavily populated.
We're fine.
