5.2 Quake Shakes Costa Rica
Inside Costa Rica - April 2, 2010

It was 2:50pm when an earthquake registering 5.2 on the Richter scale hit Costa Rica, which was reported felt throughout the country. The Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica (Ovsicori) reported that the epicentre was located in the Pacific ocean, some 112 kilometres from San José, at a depth of 26 kilometres.

The Ovsicori reports the origin of is due to a subduction of the Cocos tectonic plate, beneath the Caribe plate. The first detection of the tremor was recorded at the Oviscori centre30 kilometres southwest of Palmar Sur. María Martínez, of the Ovsicori, added that reports of the tremor came from all over the country. No reports of injuries or property damage was reported.

In the area of San Jose I live it was felt as a very mild shake. Certainly did not seem like a 5.2.

The distance and depth of the quake muted the effects felt in San Jose. People on the Pacific coast nearest the epicenter would have felt it more strongly.

I felt it. Just one little jolt. I've cut farts that shook the room harder.

I felt it pretty well, as I am on the 5th floor of an apt bldg. It never really got scary, but the building is built to 'roll with the punches' so it rolled for quite a while.

My flight left Alajuela for Houston at about 3:05PM so I was already on the plane at 2:50 PM. I didn't feel anything at all.

Hope you don't mind the share but I think you'll find the irony in it...
We were suppose to go on our Honeymoon 2/14 to the Dominican Republic, but the earthquake hit.
So we postponed it and decided to go to Denver for 2/14 to "see the snow" so what happens? We get a foot of snow in Texas.. the snowstorm of the decade! And our trip gets cut in half...
I've decided to go with plan B after the DR and come to Costa Rica in June.. and there's an Earthquake!

Maybe God knows what I want to do in CR? :oops:
