The 2017 Costa Rica earthquake occurred 16 kilometres southeast of Jacó, which is about 100 kilometres southwest of the capital, San Jose[1] on November 12, 2017. At first, the quake was measured at a magnitude of 6.8, it was a magnitude 6.5 earthquake with a max intensity of VIII (Severe) on the Mercalli intensity scale.[2] The quake was felt most severely in the provincial districts of Quepos, Parrita and Garabito—of which Jacó is capital.[3] The earthquake killed at least 3 people.[4] The earthquake could be felt throughout Costa Rica, and in some parts of Nicaragua and Panama.[5] Also, it was followed by more than 20 aftershocks throughout the night, the first measuring 5.1 just four minutes after the first quake.[6]

Damage

Electricity was knocked out in some areas. There was no major infrastructure damage from the tremor that hit the lightly populated area.[1] At least one building in Jacó had been evacuated due to apparent damage and there were reports of walls collapsing and objects falling in other parts of the country.[3] South Jacó had lost power lines and there were downed poles. There were landslides due to the quake that had caused a blockage on the highway from Jacó to other cities.[7]
