PANAMA CITY, Panama (AP) - A strong earthquake knocked out power and telephone service in parts of Panama Tuesday, and was also felt in neighboring Costa Rica, authorities reported. There were no immediate reports of injury.
The quake struck late Tuesday and was centered on Panama's Pacific coast near the border with Costa Rica.

Jaime Toral, an employee of Panama's Geo-Sciences Institute placed the magnitude at 6.0. The U.S. Geological Survey placed the magnitude at 5.9.

The quake caused blackouts in the city of David, located about 25 miles from the epicenter and 200 miles west of Panama City.

Local radio stations reported that residents of David rushed out of homes and buildings during the quake, and that some telephone service was interrupted.
