Terramoto de magnitude 7,6 atinge o Panamá, informa o USGS dos EUA

Tremor teve epicentro próximo ao extremo sul do país e foi sentido na capital, onde moradores deixaram edifícios e se reuniram nas ruas
Um forte terremoto de magnitude 7,6 Richter atingiu o Panamá na manhã desta sexta-feira, 9 de outubro, sacudindo edifícios até mesmo na capital e provocando evacuações, segundo o Serviço Geológico dos Estados Unidos (USGS, na sigla em inglês).
O tremor foi registado, inicialmente, com magnitude 8,0, mas, depois, foi revista a intensidade para 7,6, e posteriormente, para 7,7 Richter.
O epicentro do tremor foi localizado a cerca de 10 quilómetros a sudoeste da comunidade isolada de Pitaloza Arriba, próxima ao extremo sul do Panamá, informou também o USGS.
Os tremores foram sentidos na Cidade do Panamá, onde edifícios balançaram e moradores deixaram os imóveis, dirigindo-se às ruas agurdando as réplicas.
Visivelmente abalados, os moradores reuniram-se do lado de fora enquanto aguardavam informações sobre os impactos do terramoto. Ainda não há informações sobre vítimas.
O Sistema de Alerta de Tsunami dos Estados Unidos alertou para o risco iminente de grandes ondas em praias e ilhas do México ao Peru, incluindo Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicarágua, Costa Rica, Colômbia e Equador.
O Havaí também está sob alerta.

This is the driest year on record in Tegucigalpa. Eighty percent of Honduran territory is on red alert, and the capital has had a potable water rationing system every 12 days for a month. The lack of rain is making maize and bean crops in Guatemala — the main food source in a country with the region’s highest rate of chronic child malnutrition — even more vulnerable. The Panama Canal has begun restricting vessel traffic because of water stress in the basin, and the parched Amazon rivers are isolating dozens of riverside communities in Brazil and hampering fishermen’s work.
