Potential Tsunami
The National Tsunami Monitoring System (Sinamot) tweeted: “If you are on the coast and felt the earthquake very strong or very long, you should evacuate immediately. The tsunami may arrive before our report.”
This generated fear in social networks, but after a few minutes it was ruled out that there was a danger of a tsunami for Costa Rica.
According to Sinamot, the points where the tremor was most extensive was in the southern area, specifically in Corredores and Ciudad Neily.
Punta Burica is located near the border area with Panama, bordering Golfito and Corcovado.
