Yeah, comitan posted on the 5.8 thread. Looks like it was about 85 miles NE of La Paz in SOC. My neighbors felt it pretty good.

We felt it as a hard earthquake it also seemed to last a long time. UNAM has it as a 6.5.

Just talked to Dra. Bajabass, she felt nothing in El Centenario.

LA PAZ Major Earthquake
Some say 6.5 on the Richter Scale, other sites say 7.1
What counts are physical effects which are tallied on the Modified Mercalli Scale.
Could range anywhere from a hard shake to moderate destruction with casualties.
Dang I hope it's the former...
