A second report was later issued by the United States Geological Survey, which listed it as a magnitude 3.9 earthquake. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same magnitude as well.
Within minutes from the quake, our monitoring service received reports from users who felt the quake. The reports describe the quake as weak shaking. Those within an immediate 5 km radius from the epicenter further detailed the quake as a “double jolt” consisting of a light initial jolt, and a following stronger one. The earthquake was felt within a radius of about 30 km around the epicenter.
People also felt the quake in San Rafael (pop. 25,400) located 19 km from the epicenter, Aserri (pop. 25,900) 19 km away, San Felipe (pop. 25,000) 20 km away, San Miguel (pop. 28,800) 23 km away, Alajuela (pop. 47,500) 24 km away, and San Francisco de Heredia (pop. 21,900) 27 km away.
