Earthquake Shakes Southern Pacific Coast | Oakland News

A massive 7.3-magnitude earthquake rattled the southern Pacific coast of Mexico near the Guatemalan border, shaking everything from Mexico City to El Salvador—with no major injuries or damage reported so far. The quake, centered 30 miles off Chiapas at a shallow 9-mile depth, was followed by five strong aftershocks ranging from 5.1 to 6.0. Residents in Tapachula felt the tremor escalate from mild to violent, while Guatemala City’s morning rush turned chaotic as people flooded the streets. Authorities issued tsunami warnings for a 186-mile radius, urging beachgoers to stay inland for six hours and warning of possible 3.3-foot waves. This region’s history of deadly quakes underscores the ever-present threat—and the urgent need for readiness in one of Earth’s most seismically active zones.
