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 (152 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(*)RegionCountry15 km (9 mi)NE of epicenterMorrillo(pop: 83)III: WeakMariato District, Provincia de VeraguasPanama18 km (11 mi)E of epicenterCascajilloso(pop: 181)III: WeakMariato District, Provincia de VeraguasPanama19 km (12 mi)SE of epicenterVaradero(pop: 97)III: WeakProvincia de VeraguasPanama23 km (14 mi)N of epicenterLos Almacigos(pop: 54)III: WeakProvincia de VeraguasPanama24 km (15 mi)NW of epicenterEl Jobo(pop: 36)III: WeakDistrito de Montijo, Provincia de VeraguasPanama28 km (17 mi)N of epicenterLimones(pop: 83)III: WeakProvincia de VeraguasPanama37 km (23 mi)NW of epicenterSanta Catalina(pop: 578)III: WeakDistrito de Sona, Provincia de VeraguasPanama38 km (24 mi)N of epicenterTebario(pop: 190)III: WeakMariato District, Provincia de VeraguasPanama42 km (26 mi)N of epicenterLeones Arriba(pop: 69)III: WeakDistrito de Montijo, Provincia de VeraguasPanama45 km (28 mi)E of epicenterEl Cortezo(pop: 239)III: WeakDistrito de Tonosi, Provincia de Los SantosPanama45 km (28 mi)NE of epicenterEl Toro(pop: 176)III: WeakDistrito de Las Minas, Provincia de HerreraPanama46 km (29 mi)E of epicenterEspaveito(pop: 87)II: Very weakDistrito de Tonosi, Provincia de Los SantosPanama50 km (31 mi)NE of epicenterPitaloza Arriba(pop: 188)II: Very weakDistrito de Los Pozos, Provincia de HerreraPanama50 km (31 mi)NW of epicenterRio Grande(pop: 71)II: Very weakDistrito de Sona, Provincia de VeraguasPanama52 km (32 mi)NW of epicenterGuarumal(pop: 477)II: Very weakDistrito de Sona, Provincia de VeraguasPanama55 km (34 mi)E of epicenterJobero(pop: 165)II: Very weakDistrito de Tonosi, Provincia de Los SantosPanama55 km (34 mi)NE of epicenterCerro Largo(pop: 170)II: Very weakDistrito de Ocu, Provincia de HerreraPanama56 km (35 mi)N of epicenterPonuga(pop: 509)II: Very weakDistrito de Santiago, Provincia de VeraguasPanama56 km (35 mi)NE of epicenterLas Minas(pop: 889)II: Very weakProvincia de HerreraPanama62 km (39 mi)E of epicenterCambutal(pop: 370)II: Very weakDistrito de Tonosi, Provincia de Los SantosPanama62 km (39 mi)NE of epicenterSan Antonio(pop: 40)II: Very weakProvincia de Los SantosPanama62 km (39 mi)NE of epicenterLos Pozos(pop: 508)II: Very weakProvincia de HerreraPanama63 km (39 mi)NW of epicenterSan Juanito(pop: 205)II: Very weakDistrito de Sona, Provincia de VeraguasPanama63 km (39 mi)N of epicenterLos Llanos(pop: 301)II: Very weakOcú District, Provincia de HerreraPanama66 km (41 mi)NE of epicenterMacaracas(pop: 2,220)II: Very weakProvincia de Los SantosPanama66 km (41 mi)E of epicenterTonosi(pop: 1,480)II: Very weakDistrito de Tonosi, Provincia de Los SantosPanama67 km (42 mi)NW of epicenterBahia Honda(pop: 216)II: Very weakDistrito de Sona, Provincia de VeraguasPanama68 km (42 mi)N of epicenterMontijo(pop: 1,930)II: Very weakProvincia de VeraguasPanama68 km (42 mi)N of epicenterRio de Jesus(pop: 1,060)II: Very weakDistrito de Rio de Jesus, Provincia de VeraguasPanama69 km (43 mi)NE of epicenterOcu(pop: 3,940)II: Very weakDistrito de Ocu, Provincia de HerreraPanama69 km (43 mi)E of epicenterTaboga(pop: 23)II: Very weakDistrito de Las Tablas, Provincia de Los SantosPanama75 km (46 mi)NE of epicenterPese(pop: 2,570)II: Very weakDistrito de Pese, Provincia de HerreraPanama76 km (47 mi)NW of epicenterSona(pop: 7,670)II: Very weakDistrito de Sona, Provincia de VeraguasPanama78 km (48 mi)NW of epicenterPixvae(pop: 427)II: Very weakDistrito de Sona, Provincia de VeraguasPanama78 km (48 mi)NE of epicenterSan Luis(pop: 284)II: Very weakDistrito de Los Santos, Provincia de Los SantosPanama83 km (52 mi)NE of epicenterLas Cruces(pop: 823)II: Very weakDistrito de Los Santos, Provincia de Los SantosPanama87 km (54 mi)NW of epicenterZapotillo(pop: 375)II: Very weakDistrito de Las Palmas, Provincia de VeraguasPanama94 km (58 mi)NE of epicenterSan Juan Bautista(pop: 11,800)II: Very weakDistrito de Chitre, Provincia de HerreraPanama94 km (58 mi)NE of epicenterMonagrillo(pop: 10,800)II: Very weakDistrito de Chitre, Provincia de HerreraPanama245 km (152 mi)NE 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 quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Get the Android appCompare 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 4 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 30 to 35 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
