Well, I felt that! It was about 200 miles away from where I am in Ecuador, but only 10 km deep (that's shallow) and the whole house was shaking for 45 seconds. No damage as far as I can see, but the sun is just rising here so I'll go out and check the walls and roof tiles in a moment.

The "Depth = 10 Km" is, most usually, an automatic default value posted (a "place Holder") while seismologists get cracking on reviewing the data coming in.

The depth has now been revised at 80 KM for the hypocenter and downgraded to a M 7.3:
