Earthquake in Mexico City shakes all the way to Acapulco

A 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck in Mexico's western state, shaking buildings and causing panic in the nation's capital and the Pacific resort of Acapulco. Officials said at least three people died, but there were no reports of widespread damage.  The USGS said the quake occurred at 6:47 p.m. Saturday at a depth of 40.3 miles. Mexico City's mayor, Marcelo Ebrard, reported by Twitter that no major damage had been reported. He said power failed in some parts of the city.  


Here is a video showing the detail numbers from the USGS and other maps.  Also, enjoy the sweet music.




New age technology is a way to spread the word of natural disasters that some people might now know of.  For example, the Mayor tweeted about things should be carried out after the disaster and what procedures to take.
