River Goes Missing After Moderate 5.3 Earthquake Shakes Costa Rica


“Today at approximately 2:11pm in the afternoon, Upala was rattled by a 5.3 magnitude earthquake that shook products off store shelves and rattled off home furnishings. No immediate damages were reported however later in the afternoon something strange was discovered as a result.

While reporting on the earthquake in Upala today, a local news station discovered that a district near the epicenter was missing a river. That’s right…A RIVER.

Not only will this affect humans but also the livestock raised in the area.” Read more.
