‘Tsunami alert’ after powerful earthquake strikes capital

On Tuesday night, a powerful earthquake struck southern Mexico, near the resort of Acapulco, causing buildings to rock and sway in Mexico City nearly 200 miles away. Power outages were reported after the quake.

A number of people posted videos of buildings shaking when the quake struck. A preliminary USGS earthquake report says the 7.0 magnitude quake struck inland about 48 kilometers (30 miles) from Puerto Madero in Guerrero state, approximately 8 kilometers (about 5 miles) east-southeast of Pueblo Madero.
