A magnitude 7.6 struck just off the southwestern coast of Mexico at 1:05 p.m.(local time) today. It occurred at a depth of 15.1 km(about 9 miles). The epicenter was located about 23 miles southeast of Aquila. The U.S. Tsunami Warning Center said a tsunami was possible locally along parts of the coastline within 200 miles of the epicenter. There was no threat to the U.S. west coast. According to the Associated Press, there were no immediate reports of damage. Some 643 km east of the epicenter, in Mexico City, buildings were evacuated as a precaution. Coincidentally, Mexico just finished a nationwide earthquake drill an hour before the shaking started, according to the AP. The latest on the previous earthquake in Taiwan reveals that one person was dead while 146 were injured. I'm going to extend this watch for another several days. I had a feeling earlier today that it was far from over. There still could be something else going on. At the same time, there may not be anymore large earthquakes for a while following this. It has been a very active month so far.
