A strong earthquake shook the Costa Rican capital of San Jose Thursday afternoon, sending frightened residents running into streets.

There were no reports of injuries in the minutes following the earthquake.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 6.1 magnitude temblor struck 22 miles (35 kilometers) northwest of San Jose, at a depth of 28 miles (35 kilometers).

Canal 7 television showed images of broken windows, fallen ceiling panels and cracked walls. It said the quake was felt strongly throughout the small Central American country.

I got laid off from Intel in 2006 so my job could be exported to Costa Rica. While I hope Costa Rica is okay forgive me if I wish the Intel plant flattened.

Lots of IT outsourced to Costa Rica.

Too much IT outsourced, period.
