    I am from Panama, and I called my sister who lives in Pma City, and she told me, that she was awacken by the checking of the building, it was very powerful, a 6.0, this magnitud of earthqueck
    should have cause damage, maybe our building structure are better then most of the USA, It will be very good for the USA send a team of Engenier to PMA, and copy the codes of for the constructions of buildings, and applied here in the USA.
