There was an earthquake today in the early afternoon that lasted about 15 seconds. At first, I thought it was the gallo pinto taking its revenge, but I confirmed it with folks in San Pedro, Rohmoser and Guachi. Not a big deal.... my apartment shook for a little while.

Did anyone else feel it?

I was having lunch near Zona and I felt it. It was the first time ever for me anywhere. It was pretty mild there, more of just a weird sensation.

According to the report of the Institutions of Seismology of the country, this one
quake happened at one o'clock in the afternoon with 49 minutes, in a point
located 15 kilometers to the east of Parrita.

The Observatory Simologico of the National University granted one to him

On his part the Seismological National network said that it was four
points nine grades.
Both entities said that in parrita, quepos and Sunday he felt

Somewhat diffficult to read as is a loose translation from Spanish.

I always like a challenge... Maybe Nicaragua was breathing a sigh of relief that Ollie North left without restarting the civil war?

I live 7 floors up (Sabana Oeste) and I felt it real good. Like another poster said, it lasted about 15 seconds but seemed longer.
