I was in the BCP theater, and the quake felt very gentle. I was really surprised to find it was a 6.0.
6.1 ON THE RICHTER SCALE - IT FELT STRONGER:

I am in downtown Boquete and I had to hold onto a huge shelving unit I have full of dishes. Vase fell off table. Entire apt. Rocking and rolling.
According to the following site it was a 6.0 earthquake at the Costa Rica-Panama.
David was rocking and rolling. I lived in Los Angeles, Ca for 40 years and this one was right up there.
