MEXICO CITY — A magnitude-6.5 earthquake shook a wide area of southern and central Mexico on Thursday, sending people fleeing into the streets, but there were no initial reports of damage.
The epicentre was located near the town of Las Choapas, about 600 kilometres southeast of Mexico City, where it swayed buildings for several seconds. In the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, people ran from their homes and schoolchildren assembled on playgrounds.
But Gov. Javier Duarte de Ochoa there was no damage near the epicentre nor in major cities in the oil-producing state.
“Veracruz is completely quiet without problems,” he told state television. “It was felt all over the state, but nothing major happened. It was only a scare.”
The also was temblor was felt strongly in the state of Chiapas, bordering Guatemala, where there also were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake hit a depth of 167 kilometres.
Almost every day last week there was a report of a earthquake on the news in the UK. We also had a small quake in Blackpool of 3.2 the second this year in England! It seems the hard times are here and we must prepare, we have you to thank Douglas for the warnings of whats to come. I follow all your videos on You Tube with great interest and hope you will come to the UK some day.
