A magnitude 7.6 earthquake shook Mexico's central Pacific coast on Monday, killing at least one person
A magnitude 7.6 earthquake shook Mexico's central Pacific coast, rattling nerves on the anniversary of two earlier devastating quakes. Aftershocks could be felt in Puerto Vallarta, forcing some evacuations until buildings could be inspected for potential damage.
It said the quake was centered 37 kilometers southeast of Aquila near the boundary of Colima and Michoacan states and at a depth of 15.1 kilometers . "It started slowly and then was really strong and continued and continued until it started to relent," said 16-year-old Carla Cárdenas, a resident of Coalcoman. Cárdenas ran out of her family's hotel and waited with neighbors.
"This is a coincidence," that this is the third Sept. 19 earthquake, said U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Paul Earle. "There's no physical reason or statistical bias toward earthquakes in any given month in Mexico."
