Our neighbor to the south has had a lot of really bad earthquakes over the years.  Let’s hope this one hasn’t resulted in the loss of lives.

6.3 magnitude quake in Oaxaca, Mexico, USGS says

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.3 struck in the Mexican state of Oaxaca on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The quake’s epicenter was about 17 miles (27 km) from Ometepec, Guerrero. It was about 7.6 miles (12 km) deep, the USGS said.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

Residents felt the quake in Mexico City, hundreds of miles away from the epicenter.

There were no initial reports of major damage in the capital, Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said on Twitter.
