My country today was whipped by an earthquake by Kafman on 11-20-2004 at 07:56 PM

It was 2:07am (hour in Costa Rica) when an earthquake of 6.2 grades wake up all Costa Rica, panic...

Things falling, people screaming, and a pile of destroyed houses, and 4 people dead (3 by respiratory unemployments, and 1 by a motorcycle accident)

Me an my family are good, but, it seems that in any moment its gonna happen another similar earthquake in the next days...

Another thing is that here was happen an International metting of president, including the Spain King, who joke about the event :P

Well, hopefully in the next days we are going to be prepared for a similar earthquake (if happens :P)

One advice: for the next few days, stay away from tall, old, dodgy buildings!

Hope everything is fine,

Saw this on CNN, that must have been kind of scary.  Its wierd to know what someone I talk to on a forum lives there, maybe its just me though. 

Glad to hear your Okay....:)
