A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck near the coast of Panama Wednesday afternoon. The quake was centered about 30 miles to the South of the Punta de Burica Peninsula, South of the border between Panama and Costa Rica. It hit at 2:15 p.m. Pacific Time. The shaking was felt throughout the region, as far north as the border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua and east past Panama City. There were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami warning was issued. There may still be a high potential for more strong earthquake activity in the world any time or day now. There has also been more activity in parts of the United States.
