LIMA, Peru, Aug. 15, 2007

(AP) A powerful
7.5-magnitude earthquake shook the central coast of Peru Wednesday
evening, causing alarm in the capital and damaging some buildings,
according to an Associated Press photographer and the U.S.
Geological Survey.

The earthquake struck about 90 miles
southeast of the capital of Lima, according to the Web site of the
USGS.

There were no immediate reports of any injuries. An
Associated Press photographer reported some homes had collapsed in
the center of the city and that many people had fled into the
streets for safety. Another AP reporter said the quake shook the
city for more than a minute.

Callers to Radio Programas,
Peru's main news station, said parts of several cities in southern
Peru had been hit with
blackouts.
