Sit on a prop desk?

Is there a tsunami risk?

david927•37m ago

"Tsunami surges of 1 to 3 meters are projected for Panama coastlines, with waves of 0.3 to 1 meter forecast for Ecuador."

codruterdei•35m ago

Am I ignorant or that’s not that bad?

tantalor•25m ago

Several hundred meters inland, as far as 2km

wang_li•41m ago

Wonder if there could ever be enough damage resulting in the lake draining because the locks failed?

uberduper•25m ago

Yes. This quake was pretty far from the locks tho.

markus_zhang•40m ago

DYFI IX -- I think this is pretty bad.

ur-whale•38m ago

A community-based Did You Feel It score of IX.

Scale is 1 to 12. This is a 9.

Sample size of.... 1 response...

devin•29m ago

352, actually.

DetroitThrow•8m ago

only a single tile in an unpopulated area reported a 9, I think is what he meant.

stickfigure•37m ago

Still early, but so far local news does not look especially bad:

vondur•18m ago

Looks like it was centered away from densely populated areas. Still pretty big.

CommieBobDole•14m ago

Looking at the PAGER info, it looks like it was pretty far from the largest cities and only affected them, and Panama City in particular, minimally, which will limit the impact quite a bit.

ortusdux•18m ago

Looks like it was 6mi deep, which is very shallow!

pluc•16m ago

Well, gas is gonna go up

gadtfly•13m ago

Given the distance, probably comfortably within canal design tolerances.

I think the idea is that anything that happens will make gas prices go up.
