Strong earthquake shakes Costa Rica

7 hours ago

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — 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.

Had a 6.1 in Costa Rica today:

Do you have the seismograph waveforms?

If I do, I don't know where there at.

I'm just glad I didn't turn on the radio and hear this was Yellowstone going off.

Well, no WONDER the dogs were acting like a couple of lunatics when we were out walking!

I didn’t feel anything...THEY must’ve!

“Channel 9 KCAL in LA is the only TV coverage...they say it was in Perris...”

That's only a 20 minute drive for me. Here is the ONLY reason one would want to visit Perris! It has a very cool skydiving school and wind tunnel.

Felt it shake and roll here,I was on the phone with a friend and he felt it about 15 seconds after I did.(he was 15 miles to the north)
Nothing fell but it was loud rubbler........

[dragnet2]

A little surprising considering how widespread it was felt or reported.

Thanks:

[NormsRevenge]

light winds for now, looks like dry for awhile up here..

[dragnet2]

Second aftershock was deeper...I think it was reported as 9.1 miles deep, with the first at 8.6 miles.

[appleseed]

Yep. Yours however is a few seconds faster than mine.

Yellowstone was my first thought. If we felt a jolt that sharp coming all the way from CO I think we’d all be in big trouble.
