Sit on a prop desk?

Is there a tsunami risk?

david927•50m 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•48m ago

Am I ignorant or that’s not that bad?

tantalor•38m ago

Several hundred meters inland, as far as 2km

wang_li•54m ago

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

uberduper•37m ago

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

markus_zhang•53m ago

DYFI IX -- I think this is pretty bad.

ur-whale•51m ago

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

Scale is 1 to 12. This is a 9.

devin•41m ago

352, actually.

DetroitThrow•21m ago

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

stickfigure•50m ago

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

vondur•31m ago

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

CommieBobDole•27m 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•31m ago

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

pluc•29m ago

Well, gas is gonna go up

gadtfly•26m ago

Given the distance, probably comfortably within canal design tolerances.

gramie•21m ago

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

neves•26m ago

remember that other day Venezuela had a terrible earthquake

includenotfound•12m ago

I'm in Panama City and felt the shake. Wasn't too bad. Entire building got out. Seems fine now, no apparent damages as of yet
