does this cause blockage in the canal ?

Sit on a prop desk?

Wonder if there could ever be enough damage resulting in the lake draining because the locks failed?
uberduper
Yes. This quake was pretty far from the locks tho.

Still early, but so far local news does not look especially bad:

Looks like it was centered away from densely populated areas. Still pretty big.

Looks like it was 6mi deep, which is very shallow!

remember that other day Venezuela had a terrible earthquake

It's not called the Pacific Ring Of Fire for nothing. There's earthquakes all up and down the coast, from Chile all the way to Alaska and wrapping around to the Asian coasts, all the time.

I'm in Panama City and felt the shake. Wasn't too bad. Entire building got out. Seems fine now, no apparent damages as of yet

I am in the hills just outside of penonome,panama. The initial rumble made the power go out and I could see visible shaking, but not quite enough to damage my house. There are some damaged homes and commercial buildings, but usually the older or poorly co structed ones. We are not used to earthquakes around here. There are still small rumbles happening even right now.

it was felt in Panama city, panama. Weve never had so many earthquakes in a lifetime perhaps a century
