The quake had a very shallow depth of 1 km (0.6 mi) and was felt by many near the epicenter. The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would.Quake Data | Interactive map | Seismograms | User reports | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in Panama | Provincia de Veraguas | Provincia de Chiriqui | Provincia de HerreraHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Strong magnitude 5.0 earthquake at 1 km depth13 Oct 00:02 UTC: First to report: VolcanoDiscovery after 30 seconds.13 Oct 00:05: Now using data updates from RaspberryShake...

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 felt4196–660 km (122–410 mi)349 km (217 mi)II: Very weak shaking2268–272 km (166–169 mi)270 km (168 mi)III: Weak shaking2276–280 km (171–174 mi)278 km (173 mi)IV: Light shaking1258–258 km (160–160 mi)258 km (160 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (10 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!
