Well, I guess ID must be in Florida.

That was about 70% as strong as the "big one" 4 or so years ago.

Here in Sabana Sur , I live in one of the top floors of a tall building so I really get the most of it.

Where is my cat ! She took off running and I got to go find her.

Anyone in Alaujela? Epicenter was only a few miles NW of Alejuela and a few miles east of Narjano. Good thing is was 70 km deep which makes it less destructive then if it had been shallow. Only thing that broke in my casa was the glass globe on the ceiling light in the guest bedroom. Other then that nada not even things knocked off shelves.

Presidente? Probably not unless it was auto-erotica....

Nice shake here in Los Yoses, no damage. Disturbed my nap...

AMCostaRica reported 6.0 near Puriscal. Anyone out that way?

Did the old church in the plaza of Puriscal get damaged more?

Must not have been hard core gamblers if they took a break over a 6.0 quake.

Missed it...walking on the beach in Jaco and didn't feel a thing. Buddy with me said he felt the earth move and I just thought he was a bit drunk until we got back to the bar and see on TV a 6.0 hit. My girl was at home in San Ramon, pretty close to the epicenter and she said it was stronger than the 6.2 of two years ago. Knocked over our neighbor's refrigerator!

It wasnÂ´t that bad of an earthquake. Sure things shook.. But nothing even fell down.. IÂ´m a little envious of any guys that were in the middle of a session when it hit though.. MustÂ´ve been awesome..

Was in the HDR BM bar sitting at the tables by the windows. Guy I was sitting with said "Earthquake" before I even felt anything, then the one good heave side to side. Everyone sitting at the bar ran out the door.
Thankfully it was only one. Besides the movement, what was strange was the noise made as the building absorbed the quake.....reminded me of a distant low level thunder you would hear in a thunderstorm.

Only saw one broken glass on a table, don't know if it was knocked over by the quake or by someone jumping up from the table to make a beeline to the door.

I was also in the HDR sitting at the tables between the reception area and the bar. I sat calmly as all the chicas ran outside. I guess it didn't occur to them that the building could have collapsed outward killing them on the street outside.
