An earthquake was felt this Thursday at 11:11 AM in the Pacific Ocean near Escuintla [Guatemala], the Seismology, Vulcanology, Meteorology & Hydrology Institute ([Spanish acronym] INSIVUMEH) reported.
It measured 4.8 on the Richter scale and 1 on the Mercalli scale, although INSIVUMEH only has a report on its strength, none on damage or victims.
In El Salvador, the earthquake was measured at 5 degrees Richter, the authorities not reporting on victims or property damage.
Don’t see it listed at the USGS earthquake site.
Hmmmmm
11:11
