Scared!

Expat Don Shader in Manta reports

there were two more earthquakes

felt overnight in Manta .. and this

was a big topic of discussion today

at the restaurant where Don and his

friends have breakfast.

Don says he has been "scared" by the

recent quakes felt on the coast.

However, at least for now, Don is

not saying he is considering leaving

Ecuador or the Ecuadorian coast

after a year and a half. He accepts

that earthquakes are a fact of

life along the Ring of Fire.

Quakes near the border.

Earthquakes and aftershocks are persisting.

Monday's quake centered near the

Colombian border, ten miles from the

regional center of Tulcán, Ecuador, in

Carchi province.

It was a 5.2 magnitude quake, made

more dangerous because its epicenter

was relatively shallow.

There were more than a dozen aftershocks.

The quake damaged over 140 buildings,

mostly in Tulcán and in San Gabriel, where

two historic buildings were damaged.

At least eight people were injured.

No word yet on the aftermath in

the border city of Ipiales, Colombia,

which sits two miles from the

Rumichaca border.
