A powerful, magnitude-7.6 earthquake shook Costa Rica and a wide swath of Central America on Wednesday. There were no immediate accounts of injuries, but communications were down near the epicenter.
The USGS said the 8:42 a.m. quake struck about 38 miles (60 kilometers) from the town of Liberia. It was centered about 25 miles (41 kilometers) below the surface. The magnitude initially was estimated at 7.9.
A tsunami warning remains in effect for Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua. It is still not known if a tsunami has been generated.
A tsunami warning was also issued for the Caribbean region but was later canceled because it was inadvertently sent by mistake. No tsunami watch is in effect for the Caribbean Sea region.
According to ABC news, in the coastal town of Nosara in northwest Costa Rica, trees shook violently and light posts swayed. Teachers chased primary school students outside. There were no reports of major damage at this time.
ok then, it is one earthquake after the other! Lord come and take your world! We had enough pain down here!
Did they say “It was inadvertently sent by mistake?”
