A major earthquake shook southern and central Mexico, mainly in the state of Oaxacas on the Pacific, on Tuesday. There were no immediate reports of devastation or extensive damage reported by the AP.
At the same time, Reuters reports that buildings in Mexico City, located hundreds of miles from the affected area. The quake caused hundreds of people to escape into the streets of the capital.
The US Geologic Survey says the magnitude 7 earthquake was magnified, while Mexico's seismological institute put its strength at 7.1.
An earthquake of magnitude 7.1 hit central Mexico in 2017, killing 355 people.
