does this cause blockage in the canal ?

Is there a tsunami risk?

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

DYFI IX -- I think this is pretty bad.

Still early, but so far local news does not look especially bad: https://www.telemetro.com/nacionales/asi-se-vivio-el-fuerte-...

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

I am in the hills just outside of penonome,panama. The initial rumble made the power go out and I could see visible shaking, but not quite enough to damage my house. There are some damaged homes and commercial buildings, but usually the older or poorly co structed ones. We are not used to earthquakes around here. There are still small rumbles happening even right now.

it was felt in Panama city, panama. Weve never had so many earthquakes in a lifetime perhaps a century
