I imagine in hotels all over town, the chicas were giving the standard dramatic performance of crying, shrieking and general panic.
Even though they have felt them multiple times.

Did anyone else in CR feel it. It was a 5.9 earthquake (October 8, 2010)? It was centered in Zarcero which is Alajuela Province, about 50 Km northwest of San José. I was in Alajuela the city; it did some serious shaking. |

The thing I noticed was that it seemed to last longer than most of them here do. Being on the 3rd floor, I felt it pretty good. It was strong enough that it emptied the building of all residents. Only the second time in 5 years one has shook the building hard enough for everyone to rush out of the building. I had just got out of the shower and it lasted long enough for me to put on a shirt, pants, and grab my shoes, keys, and passport before it stopped. Been listening to and reading too much crap about immirgration I guess when the first thing I thought about was getting my passport. |

Felt it!! I was in the movie theater in San Pedro with a favorita. She screamed, as did the entire theater, and ran out, as did everyone else except me and another gringo Took me a few seconds to realize wtf it was (I'm from FLA!), but they all knew immediately. The floor seemed like it rolled pretty good for a few seconds, but didnt feel anything after. The movie continued after a few minutes

In 1991 near Limon. 7.5 or 7.6 I think. SR Occurred on April 22, 1991. Variously reported as 7.6 and 7.7. Damage to the Atlantic railroad right of way was so severe service has never been restored. |

Brother Srilm is spot-on--wasn't that the one that destroyed the railroads? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ea ... Costa_Rica |
