I received the following information from a CC reader. I hadn’t checked the local Panama Earthquake site, but the reader did.
The site’s information is in Spanish, but it is interesting reading. So following the link below ( cut and paste into your address line ) you can see that running perpendicular to the shore a [...]

Well that earthquake was the strongest I have felt since I have lived in Panama. It was listed as a 6.5 (preliminary) on USGS and was 39 miles out of David.
It set of all the alarms and threw all of the birds out of the trees. It happened at 1:10 AM by my watch. I [...]

I didn’t, but I understand it was pretty strong here. I think I was driving and never knew a thing about it. Here is the information on the 5.2 magnitude quake.

It was shaking early here this morning, but I slept through it.

Last night at about 9:30 PM, as I was lying in bed watching TV, there was a pretty good tremor that provided me with a much needed bed message. The shaking lasted several seconds.
I see that the Instituto de Geociences listed it as being near Puerto Armuelles, Chiriquí.

Yesterday I had a Chiriquí Chatter reader write and ask about tremors from the Baru. I replied that I wasn’t aware of anything going on and referenced one of the seismic sites that is in the Chiriquí Chatter link area. The site, http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/last_event/world_panama.html , showed the last seismic event in this area as being December [...]

According to the Panama Institute of Geosciences, the number of tremors is decreasing in Boquete.

I decided to drive to Boquete yesterday and see if I could get some current information about the studies that have been being made relative to the continuing seismic activity. I talked with Frank Glavas, who runs the Pension Marilos, and is a long time resident in Boquete. He usually knows the latest news in [...]

This morning at approximately 3:00 AM I had just sat down to take care of a call by nature. No sooner had I completed my nature appointment, when the tremor hit and the bathroom facilities began to shake. Now the timing couldn’t have been any better. What a refreshing end to one of nature’s calls.
In [...]

I have just added a new link to the link area. It is for the Institute of Geosciences in the University of Panama.
While it is in Spanish, it is pretty easy to understand. On the left of the website you will see Últimos Sismos (Last Earthquakes). Clicking there will take you to the latest earthquakes. [...]
