On your day off yesterday you may have felt a small earthquake. The USGS (US Geological Survey) had recorded the earthquake on their website within ten minutes. The epicentre of the earthquake was in Guatemala near the El Salvador border, about 100km from Santa Tecla. The earthquake measured 5.8 on the Richter Scale.

After the main earthquake there were two smaller earthquakes. One person was killed in the earthquakes.
