7.6 quake hits Costa Rica, two dead. A powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck Costa Rica's Pacific coast Wednesday, killing two people, briefly knocking out power and phone lines, and triggering tsunami warnings. Trees fell, rooftops were damaged and roads split by the quake near the epicentre in the coastal province of Guanacaste. People rushed into the streets 150 kilometres away in the capital San Jose. Authorities said around 20 people were injured in the quake. A man and a woman died after suffering heart attacks in the town of Filadelfia, not far from Nicoya, which is roughly 10 kilometres from the epicentre. "Here in Nicoya, fortunately we have only seen very minor injuries, people with minor cuts - nothing significant given the magnitude of the storm."
The US Geological Survey initially said the quake, which struck on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, measured 7.9 on the Moment Magnitude Scale, but revised both the intensity and location in a subsequent advisory. A tsunami warning was issued for Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua, but later cancelled. Initially, the warning had extended from Mexico to Peru. "We felt it very strongly, and ran, afraid that the house was going to come down. People are very alarmed."
There had been reports of the sea pulling away from the coast in San del Sur, and that high waves could hit that coastal region later in the day. In San Jose, some buildings and schools were evacuated. Many areas of the capital also lost power and mobile phone service for a brief period. The quake was felt strongly in neighbouring Nicaragua, Panama and El Salvador.
