An earthquake of magnitude 7.5 occurred in the state of Oaxaca. As a
result of an underground blow, many buildings were destroyed and
damaged. About the victims of the earthquake there is no official
information.
Subterranean tremors were felt even in the capital of the country
Mexico City, which is located 362 kilometers from the epicenter. Within
two minutes, there was a swing in the houses, so people went out into
the street.
According to Jaime Hernandez, director general of Mexico’s Federal
Electricity Commission, 998,000 homes and retail space in Mexico City,
Mexico City, Oaxaca, Guerrero and Morelos were left without light after
an emergency. Operational agencies are working to restore the supply of
electricity.
