Moderators Moderator_02 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2019 Seems that there were two (or three?) earthquakes on the same day but in or affecting different parts of Panama. This was last Thursday, March 14th. The first image below is earlier in the day in the Panama City area, magnitude 4.3 according to this source. The second image is late afternoon in the Sabalito area of Costa Rica, magnitude 2.8 according to this source. Marcelyn and I were attending the BCP performance of A Red Plaid Shirt, and we felt the second tremor. It was NOT a rumbling earthquake, but rather a very short jolting that reminded me of the spat of tremors about a decade ago that lasted for many weeks here in our area. There is a bit of a puzzle in my mind, as the timing of this second reported earthquake does NOT synch up with my recollection of when we felt the jolt at the BCP Theater. I recall it being about an hour later (and no, I am not confused about time zone issues here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Moderator_02 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2019 Thanks Keith. I completely missed your posting about the Potrerillos area tremors. Things make more sense with that piece of information added to the picture, especially timing-wise. Maybe I should merge these two topics to keep things together. Hmmm. Thoughts?
