I am not so worried it is my husband that mind so much. However we live in England at the moment and I although we don't have to worry so much about tremors we do have cold, sometimes extreme bad weather and that alone is making me glad that I chose Boquete.

I have a hunch it is the La Prensa article http://www.panama-guide.com/article.php/2007012014031745 Pearl - I have lived here for 4 years and there has always been tremors. I have talked with residents of Boquete that have lived here all their life and most say they have seen the same thing for years. While I would never say never, I think this is just one of those things you have to expect when you live in a fault area of the world. Plan on enjoying your house and don't worry about things you can control. I would rather live here and put up with tremors than to live in tornado ally in the US and go through the annual tornadoes.

I am hoping to retire here in the next few years. I have been reading a lot over the last 12 months about these tremors. Is there really any need for concern. My husband and I chose Boquete because of it's beauty and friendly warm people. I am having a house built in Boquete which will be ready by May/June. I am hoping to retire here in the next few years.

I guess we will sit and watch. I still personally think to the casual observer that everything is as it has always been since I have been here, But it never hurts to be on the alert.

On january 17th there was an article on La Prensa about the new tremors and that there are differences among the opinions of the experts. Some experts say that the tremors are of volcanic origin whle others say that has to do with the local faults. What is going on it is not known yet. But yesterday i was listening to the local news via de webcam conference with my parents. And the panamanian goverment is investing a lot of money on new sismographs and other type of instruments to start closely monitoring both the active volcanoes in Panama, the Volcan Baru and the Volcan La Yeguada in Veraguas. They said clearly that they do NOT want to cause panic on the population but they DO want to make sure people are ready if something should occur. If anyone is interested in the article I can either email it, or post it here (possible Don?). The article at this moment is still in Spanish so I would have to translate it. I dont mind at all. :) And just to make sure there had been more tremors in the last days. For sure 2 on january 16th, and 2 on january 17th (magnitude of about 4+). Please I dont want to scare anyone. I live myself in Holland but all my family is in Boquete and that is the reason why i keep monitoring these type of things. Thanks for listening .. Mirethy Hi Don,
