Peru experienced a massive 6.9-magnitude earthquake Sunday night, according to the Weather Channel via U.S. Geological Survey.

At least two people were injured, according to CNN. Buildings were also damaged, including 14 houses, three schools, a church and a hospital, according to Peru's Emergency Operations Center.

The people of Huamanga left their homes and ran for safety to a nearby parade ground, according to El Comercio, a Peruvian news outlet. Cellphone and power outages were also reported in Cusco in southeastern Peru.

Though the quake hit central Peru, it was felt in Lima and in other cities in southeastern Peru, according to Weather.com via local media. Commander Ruiz Colbert, director of information of Peru's Navy, said the possibility of a tsunami was ruled out because the earthquake's epicenter was on land, according to El Comerico.

The quake occurred at 23:21GMT Sunday and had a depth of 62.8 miles. It was centered about 27 miles east-northeast of Tambo and about 290 miles southeast of Lima, according to The Associated Press. 

It hit just hours after California was hit with a 6.0 earthquake that injured almost 200 people and damaged buildings.
