biggest earthquakes on camera
Costa Rica earthquake caught on camera. A powerful 7.6 magnitude earthquake rocked Costa Rica on Wednesday, rattling buildings and cutting power in areas of the capital, San Jose.
The quake's epicenter was in western Costa Rica about 87 miles from San Jose, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said, and it was felt as far away as Managua, the capital of neighboring Nicaragua. It was the biggest earthquake in Costa Rica since a 7.6 quake in 1991 left 47 dead. More recently, 40 people died in a 6.1 magnitude quake in January 2009.
