Earthquake in Costa Rica

Please be praying for Costa Rica as we had an 6.2 earthquake . Some houses fell and are damaged. Also there are towns that are isolated because of landslides and they are without electricity and water. They are also having to rescue people by air who are trapped in landslides and there are at least 60 deaths and over 300 people seriously hurt so far. Many roads have been destroyed because of the landslides an many rides have fallen. There is also a problem with flooding as a dam broke. Nearly 24 hours later we are still feeling strong aftershots. Pray the weather will clear up becaue it has just started raining which will make the rescues more dificult and also more dangerous to more landslides.
