Significant magnitude 5.2 quake hits 33 km northwest of San Jose, Costa Rica early morning

Costa Rica was shaken near San Jose, San José, Provincia de San José, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 only 24 minutes ago, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near San Jose, San José, Provincia de San José, Costa Rica, early morning on Saturday, February 18th, 2023, at 2:24 am local time. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.7 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.7, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.2, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 4.7.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Rio Segundo (pop. 9,900) located 12 km from the epicenter.
In Alajuela (pop. 47,500) located 23 km from the epicenter, Mercedes (pop. 26,000) 24 km away, Heredia (pop. 21,900) 25 km away, San Francisco (pop. 55,900) 26 km away, Ciudad Quesada (pop. 27,300) 30 km away, San Vicente de Moravia (pop. 34,400) 32 km away, San Vicente (pop. 34,400) 32 km away, and San Jose (pop. 335,000) 33 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Ciudad de Limon (pop. 63,100) located 127 km from the epicenter.
