This weekend has been one for Central America to shake.
From Top to Bottom of this map:
4.6 in
Mexico (
April 12),
5.6 in
Guatemala (
April 18),
4.4 off of the coast of
El Salvador (
April 12),
4.7 off of the coast of
El Salvador (
April 16),
4.6 in
Nicaragua (
April 17),
5.4 off of the coast of
Nicaragua (
April 17),
4.8 off of the coast of
Nicaragua (
April 17).
On Saturday this 5.4 quake shook the ocean floor just west of Managua, Nicaragua. It was felt all along the western coast of Nicaragua, with reports of light damage coming in from Masaya and Léon. It was followed by a second temblor of 4.8 with almost the same epicenter later in the day.
Again around 7:30 PM a third quake occurred on the mainland of Nicaragua. The epicenter of about 10 miles WNW of Managua. Again reports of light damage have come in from people living in Ciudad Sandino, Villa El Carmen, and Ticuantepe.
Now this morning this 5.6 Earthquake hits Guatemala. It's still only just an hour since it occurred, so reports of damage are very preliminary. The worst thus far are reports of moderate damage coming in from Tapachula, Mexico on the Guatemalan border. The reach of the quake extends north to Tuxla Gutierrez, Mexico and south to San Salvador, El Salvador. East in Guatemala to the city of Cahabón.
