Witness location : Jaco (Costa Rica) (72 km NW from epicenter)

Woke me up with a large jolt then followed with slight shaking. Not any damage but was awakened instantly. The first i have felt in about a year that strong.

Witness location : (Costa Rica) (84 km E from epicenter)

  In bed in a small house above beach.  Heard it coming in my sleep and was awakened as it hit with several good jolts and rocking of house.  Lasted maybe 10 seconds and was gone. No aftershocks.

Witness location : Heredia (Costa Rica) (84 km NW from epicenter)

It was moderate. Being 4:55am I was waken up. It took me about two seconds to realize it was an earthquake then sat on my bed and it didn't stop. So I got up and opened my curtain and peeped through my window(which was extremely dangerous being a glass window!). I saw the plants moving and the cars dancing. Dongs were barking. Then it stopped. I went back to bed turned on my laptop and literally saw how one by one my chat friends came online. Meaning all of them felt it. I couldn't sleep back until around 7:00am

More of undulation than shaking-seemed to move in a clockwise direction-felt very strong to me.

Witness location : San Ramon (Costa Rica) (103 km NW from epicenter)

Experienced an earlier small quake late last year where the house swayed. This time the windows were rattling more and I believe there were three distinctive movements or tremors. Not sure as I awoke from what I perceived to be the first tremor.
