What time did it occur?

The link said 15:15 hours, but did not say which time zone!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

That time is correct. And it felt like a 5.7. Medium quake with little damage, one of those ones you have to sit down to feel. If walking or moving
around you'll miss it.

"I read it was at 8:15am"
Both times are correct.
The USGS earthquake link uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The time difference to Loreto from GMT is seven hours.
Hence, 15:15 GMT and 8:15 MST.
