Earthquake in Papua New Guinea - A M6.6 earthquake was reported in Papua New Guinea earlier this week. The epicenter is close to Lae, the country's second-largest city. Damage may have occurred there, but the ~100 kilometer depth of quake means the shaking may have been dampened to some degree. Shaking was also felt in the capital, Port Moresby.
