We just had a BIG Earthquake!!!

Re: We just had a BIG Earkquake!!!

Wow. 7.6 is no minor quake! :shock:

Please take care. Perhaps prepare, gather some provisions together, like a 24/72 hour kit, stuff in a suitcase, gym bag, or even a pillow case. Just in case you must move out fast. Keep in touch with us...

Well, they say that the Nicoya peninsula (in the Pacific) has risen 1 meter after the earthquake:

Judging from the damage, I think they downgraded it. I do believe it was stronger. Let's see what the Costa Rican geology center says later on. Not that they might necessarily say the truth, but at least they keep their own measuring gadgets. The 1991 earthquake was stronger according to their measurements in comparison to the US. geological measurements. The interesting thing is that I read this years later on a book and it was never officially admitted, at least not that I remember.

Yes, in the radio they said that C.Rica downgraded it. I don't know why? And they also said that there were no victims. But this earthquake was very strong!

Take care of you Zim, don't panic (easy to say) and good luck.
 
Re: We just had a BIG Earkquake!!!

Take care and be safe, Zim! I'm glad to hear that you made it through ok :)
 
Re: We just had a BIG Earkquake!!!

Re: We just had a BIG Earkquake!!!

Holy moly, 7.6! That's a very large quake.

Glad you and your family are alright, zim.
 
Re: We just had a BIG Earkquake!!!

The person in charge of the Geological Institute, when Radio Relog (local Radio) asked about the grade of the earthquake he said it was 6.7 which I thought it was low compare with such movement!!! But when the reporter said to him that the USGS Eathquake reported 7,9 initially he then said "Ok we dont have way to measure so fast because we are near from the event!!!!! :scared: :O

So all the news took as refference the USGS report. :cry:
