An earthquake of magnitude 7.7 strikes Panama, storm Isaias kills four in the United States and Ebola spreads to eastern DRC and Kenya.
An earthquake of magnitude 7.7 triggered panic Friday in Panama's capital and caused the collapse of buildings and roads, mainly in the center of the country. More than a hundred aftershocks have been recorded since, prompting some residents to sleep outdoors.
The earthquake caused significant material damage and injuries. Fear of further tremors slows the return to normal.
Storm Isaias killed four people in the southern United States. Now a post-tropical cyclone, it is expected to move north then northeast during the weekend. More than 650,000 people are without electricity in Florida.
The death toll and power outages affect a very large number of residents in the southeastern part of the country.
