Mexico City - Arab Today

A powerful earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale shook Mexico on Saturday evening, killing at least two people. 
The US Geological Survey says the quake struck at 7:47 pm local time (5:47 pm PST). It was first registered as a magnitude of 6.7 and later downgraded to a 6.5. It was centered about 80 miles north of Acapulco, about 103 miles southwest of Mexico City, near Chilpancingo in the state of Guerrero.


The temblor was relatively deep, striking about 40 miles below the surface of the earth. Power was knocked out in many districts of the capital and one building was evacuated, but Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said water services, the subway and the airport were working normally. 


Landslides had closed highways in the Pacific coast state but the duty fire officer in Acapulco said that while residents of the port city felt the earthquake and telephone services were down, there were no reports of major damage

A severe earthquake in 1985 killed thousands of people and wrecked parts of Mexico City, and many residents live with the fear of a repeat.
