Yesterday, we were at breakfast in the rancho with guests, when everything started moving, swaying and shaking. It took a few seconds to register that it was an earthquake, and a pretty powerful one.
Lights and fans swayed, a few things fell off the shelves, but no major damage at Tree Houses, thankfully.
I felt a little seasick, as the cement floor we were standing on, felt like a waterbed, rolling up and down.
The quake, a 7.6 magnitude temblor, was centered over on the Pacific Coast in the Nicoya region, which is quite a distance from us.
People felt the quake all the way on the Caribbean side and up into Nicaragua, also.
For the folks that work here: Miguel, Keneth, Darling, Patricia and Seidy, they said that was the largest one that they have experienced. No one was hurt, and Miguel and I walked all the tree houses afterward and no damage done to the inside or to the supports on them.
Hopefully that was the last one we'll experience down this way for a long, long time.
