People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Panama, Panama City, 245 km (153 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake could not be felt.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry9 km (5 mi)W of epicenterTobobe(pop: 607)IV: LightKusapin, Ngoebe-BuglePanama14 km (9 mi)SW of epicenterBahia Grande(pop: 252)III: WeakKusapín, Ngoebe-BuglePanama16 km (10 mi)W of epicenterKusapin(pop: 1,410)III: WeakKusapin, Ngoebe-BuglePanama29 km (18 mi)SW of epicenterBisira(pop: 1,380)III: WeakKankintu, Ngoebe-BuglePanama34 km (21 mi)W of epicenterCayo de Agua(pop: 529)III: WeakDistrito de Bocas del Toro, Provincia de Bocas del ToroPanama34 km (21 mi)S of epicenterRio Viento Arriba(pop: 249)III: WeakKankintu, Ngoebe-BuglePanama42 km (26 mi)SW of epicenterQuebrada Tula(pop: 283)III: WeakJirondai, Ngoebe-BuglePanama45 km (28 mi)SW of epicenterChiriqui Grande(pop: 1,530)III: WeakDistrito Chiriqui Grande, Provincia de Bocas del ToroPanama46 km (29 mi)NW of epicenterIsla Bastimentos(pop: 1,500)III: WeakDistrito de Bocas del Toro, Provincia de Bocas del ToroPanama54 km (33 mi)W of epicenterLos Chiricanos(pop: 513)II: Very weakDistrito Chiriqui Grande, Provincia de Bocas del ToroPanama58 km (36 mi)W of epicenterTierra Oscura(pop: 306)II: Very weakDistrito de Bocas del Toro, Provincia de Bocas del ToroPanama59 km (36 mi)NW of epicenterBocas del Toro(pop: 5,380)II: Very weakProvincia de Bocas del ToroPanama59 km (37 mi)SW of epicenterPueblo Nuevo(pop: 1,110)II: Very weakJirondai, Ngoebe-BuglePanama60 km (37 mi)SE of epicenterLoma Yuca(pop: 17)II: Very weakSanta Catalina o Calovébora District, Ngoebe-BuglePanama68 km (42 mi)W of epicenterQuebrada Pastor(pop: 602)II: Very weakAlmirante, Provincia de Bocas del ToroPanama71 km (44 mi)SE of epicenterCalovebora(pop: 117)II: Very weakSanta Fe, Provincia de VeraguasPanama72 km (45 mi)SE of epicenterGuayabito(pop: 420)II: Very weakNurun, Ngoebe-BuglePanama73 km (45 mi)SW of epicenterCerro Venado(pop: 147)II: Very weakNgoebe-BuglePanama74 km (46 mi)SW of epicenterBoca de Balsa(pop: 304)II: Very weakBesiko, Ngoebe-BuglePanama74 km (46 mi)SW of epicenterSoledad(pop: 68)II: Very weakDistrito de Gualaca, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama76 km (47 mi)SW of epicenterLos Planes(pop: 179)II: Very weakDistrito de Gualaca, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama80 km (50 mi)SE of epicenterCabecera de San Pablo(pop: 140)II: Very weakÑürün, Ngoebe-BuglePanama81 km (50 mi)SE of epicenterCaloveborita(pop: 222)II: Very weakProvincia de VeraguasPanama84 km (52 mi)SW of epicenterLos Angeles(pop: 250)II: Very weakDistrito de Gualaca, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama85 km (53 mi)SW of epicenterMague(pop: 501)II: Very weakDistrito de Boquete, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama90 km (56 mi)SW of epicenterGualaca(pop: 3,450)II: Very weakProvincia de ChiriquiPanama93 km (58 mi)SW of epicenterEl Higo(pop: 455)II: Very weakDistrito de David, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama245 km (153 mi)E of epicenterPanama City(pop: 408,200)I: Not feltDistrito de Panama, Provincia de PanamaPanamaNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quake (1)So far, we have received 1 report for this quake.

It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)I: Not felt1196–196 km (122–122 mi)196 km (122 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

It has had at least 5 quakes above magnitude 5 since 2000, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 3 to 7 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 6 weeks after a magnitude 3.9 earthquake had hit on Wednesday, Oct 8, 2025, at 03:05 am local time (America/Panama GMT -5) in 36 km (22 mi) distance to the northwest:Mag. 3.9 earthquake Caribbean Sea - 17 km north of Isla Cayo Agua Island, Panama - Oct 8, 2025 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 5.2.
