Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning for Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama and Mexico. They stated that it is not known that a tsunami was generated, however, an earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines in the region near the epicenter within minutes to hours. NOAA West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center didn’t issue any warning.
