The tremor was felt in Costa Rica's capital of San Jose, but that country's emergency commission said there were no reports of damages there. A local radio station in Panama received calls from people in the area who said they felt the quake strongly and also felt several aftershocks. Initial checks by emergency workers near the quake's epicenter found no immediate signs of serious damage or landslides, a man identifying himself as a Red Cross worker told Panamanian radio.
