7.3 Earthquake Shakes Mexico-Guatemala Border | Rochester News

A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake rattled the Mexico-Guatemala border, sending tremors as far north as Mexico City and south into El Salvador—with no major casualties or damage reported. The quake, centered 30 miles southwest of Aquiles Serdan in Chiapas at a shallow 9-mile depth, was followed by at least ten aftershocks, including one as strong as 6.0. Cities like Tapachula and Guatemala City saw significant shaking, prompting mass evacuations, while Mexico issued a tsunami warning for coastal zones.
