The
quake came a day after Chile was shaken by an 8.2 magnitude quake
that killed six people and set off a tsunami with two-metre waves.
The
Panama quake was centered about 61 km south of David, Panama, at a
depth of 28 km. The USGS originally reported the magnitude at 6.2 and
depth at 10 km.
Panama's
head of emergency services, Arturo Alvarado, said there were no
reports of damage or injuries but that schools and homes in the area
were evacuated as a precaution. A USGS tweet said it had received
citizens' reports of light and moderate shaking
