This earthquake was felt in Brazil as well. http://www.radiobras.gov.br/materia.phtml?materia=241107&q=1&editoria= PMLF 03:49, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a slight change in wording to the piece. The first use of the term epicenter is correct because it describes the position of the earthquake on the surface. The second use of the term is incorrect because the depth of the earthquake is described by the term hypocenter. Ref. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/glossary.php?term=hypocenter.
