A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Panama’s southern coast, shaking the capital. The US Geological Survey first estimated the quake at 8.0 before revising it to 7.7. It struck near Pitaloza Arriba about 6 miles deep, followed by a 5.5-magnitude aftershock. Officials warned of possible waves up to 10 feet along parts of Panama’s coast, but said a Pacific-wide tsunami was not expected.
