Early morning 6.2 quake
was felt all over country
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
An earthquake that was estimated at a magnitude 6.2 struck at a point on the Panamá-Costa Rica border at 12:12 a.m. today.
The epicenter appeared to be a few kilometers inland from the peninsula that both countries share.
The location was listed by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center to be 55 km (35 miles) west-southwest of David, Panamá, 45 km (30 miles) south-southeast of Golfito and 220 km (135 miles) southeast of San José.
The quake was felt in San José as a short and a long tremor. The duration may have been as much as a minute.
The area of the quake, Punta Burica, and nearby Puerto Armulles in Panamá are a frequent location for such events. There have been no reports of injuries or damage yet, the magnitude of the quake is in the danger range.
Online seismographs at the Obvservatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica showed that the quake was felt all over the country.
A quake hit the same area early Dec. 25, 2003, and killed two persons and damaged at least 70 homes. That quake was registered as a 6.3 magnitude.
This is the same earthquake I slept though around midnight this is the first quake I've been in that pretty cool that nonthing major happened to me or the people around these areas that's nice .
