the birds are still screeching...can hear them from the other side of the valley...
reports are coming in from all over the country...
6.0 R

Stay safe...

are you doing well ulli? any after shocks

peace

[ulli]

thanks, everyone, I'm fine here...we live at the bottom of a valley, next to a river
and there are deposits of millions of years of river rocks which act as shock absorbers

watching TV now, cell phones are not working in the epi center area
I just saw surveillance camara videos from our TV station...it was wild...

on the whole the construction here is very good,
Costa Ricans have learnt decades ago how to bulid strong houses

will keep you posted

[g.k.r]

so far no reports of deaths,

although some cars got hit by falling rocks

everyone had a good fright though

people being interviewed on TV in different parts of the country...

I'm sure there will be some good Youtubes soon

Be safe ulli,thinking of you down here in the shaky isles of NZ

This site (http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/index.php?filter=no&min_mag=5&view=1) says it was 5.6...hmm.

Thoughts are with you ulli!

[ulli]

I still can't believe there were no casualties...what luck

The quake was really strong but only lasted 15 seconds

Also strange that there have been no aftershocks

Someone is watching over us, that's for sure

Thank you.

I love you.
