Costa Rica experienced a 5.9 earthquake that was felt all over the country. Very little damage was caused by it. Cell phone coverage was briefly interrupted.
On a personal note, the staff of the hotel shrugged off the whole thing. "If you live in Costa Rica, earthquakes are.." and then the shrug.
Don't worry, be happy.

I could hear a rumble, as everything shook
We just now experienced an earthquake.
Coming from Illinois, I am not a good estimator of the size of such things. I can't tell you how much of a quake it was. I can tell you that I was bounced around, and we heard a rumble that kept going a lot longer than I wanted to hear. It was like being on a bridge when a big truck drives by. Except this truck kept on going by for a while.
Deb was excited by it. "Who would ever think that you and I would experience an earthquake, together?"
