Here in Costa Rica we were hit by a 6.5 magnitude quake yesterday afternoon. Our house shook violently for about 5 seconds,in the following hours we had two sets of smaller aftershocks, but all is quiet now.

The quake knocked out power in places but there were no immediate reports of injuries or major damage. In neighbouring Panama, civil defence officials said via Twitter that the quake was felt strongly in the border provinces of Chiriqui and Bocas del Toro, but that there were no immediate reports of damage.
