DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: That breaking news is coming out of El Salvador, where we're getting word a strong earthquake has hit that country. To get more information, let's go ahead and bring in Waverly Person. He is with the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado. Mr. Person, good morning. Thanks for joining us.</s>WAVERLY PERSON, U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY: Good morning.</s>KAGAN: What can you tell us about what has happened in El Salvador?</s>PERSON: Well, we have a moderate aftershock. It's a magnitude of 5.7. It is about 60 miles south of San Salvador in the same area as the magnitude 7.7 back on Jan. 13. And this is classified as an aftershock.</s>KAGAN: And explain again to us what makes something an aftershock or a separate earthquake.</s>PERSON: Well, they're coming from the same source and it's a smaller earthquake than the main shock.</s>KAGAN: And are you getting any word -- I don't know if you would even in Golden, Colorado -- about any damage or any injuries?</s>PERSON: We haven't heard anything at all so far other than it was felt strongly there. This is equal to one that we have had there previously. We've had an aftershock there before up to a magnitude 5.7, and that one did not cause very much damage at all. So we don't expect this one to cause very much damage.</s>KAGAN: Good news, indeed. Thank you very much, Waverly Person. Whoops. There we go. Waverly Person joins us from the U.S. Geological Survey, bringing us the latest on what now appears to be an aftershock to that earlier major earthquake that had hit just around San Salvador in El Salvador.
