A major 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck 193 kilometres east of Acapulco on Mexico’s Pacific coast, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Tuesday.
The USGS located the epicenter of the quake at 525 km east of Ometepec in Guerrero state at a depth of 18 km.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the inland earthquake would not generate a destructive widespread tsunami, but there was the possibility of
some local tsunami effects.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon said on his Twitter account that there was no serious damage reported from the quake.
Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard also took to Twitter to say that he saw no damages as he surveyed the city from a helicopter.
The quake was felt in Mexico City where buildings shook and office employees fled into the street, according to a Reuters witnesses. Cellphone lines
were down and traffic snarled in the capital moments after the quake.
No damage was reported in Oaxaca, near where the quake hit, according to local television.
Earlier it had been reported at 7.9 magnitude and initially as 7.6 magnitude.

Thanks for the link... 'Acapulco' alone was perhaps not the best title for a thread on an earthquake?
