Anyone heard? The maps on the link were great showing the severity across the region.

I doubt it

There isn't much up there to fall down. And, after being in Chinandega, if the quake had been further south the whole town fell down it would probably make it look better. I get the feeling the reason they have a prison there is because the inmates wouldn't want to escape into the town.

LOL
