7.3 Earthquake Shakes Mexico-Guatemala Border | San Francisco News

A massive 7.3 magnitude earthquake rattled the Mexico-Guatemala border, shaking as far as Mexico City and El Salvador—with no major damage or casualties reported so far, though two people were injured in southern Mexico. The quake, centered 30 miles offshore near Chiapas, triggered at least ten aftershocks, including a 6.0 magnitude tremor. Cities like Tapachula saw escalating shaking prompting evacuations, while Guatemala City residents fled into the streets during rush hour. Landslides were reported on western roads, and schools suspended classes as a precaution. Mexico City’s alert system didn’t activate due to the quake’s energy release, but authorities warned coastal zones to stay clear for six hours amid tsunami risks. This region’s history of deadly quakes—including the 2017 7.1 that killed hundreds—makes this event especially concerning.
