I was going to let this watch go out a little bit longer yesterday. An earthquake of magnitude 6.6 struck the Gulf of Darien, near the Panama-Colombia border Wednesday night followed by an aftershock of 4.9 just ten minutes after the former. There were no reports of casualties or damage. The earthquake did not hit a populous region. According the the USGS, the quake was centered about 41 km(25 miles) northeast of Puerto Obaldia, Panama, while both quakes struck at a depth of 10 km(6.21 miles).
