A magnitude 7.6 earthquake shook Mexico's central Pacific coast on Monday, killing at least one person and setting off a seismic alarm in the rattled capital on the anniversary of two earlier devastating quakes.
People gather outside after a magnitude 7.6 earthquake was felt in Mexico City on Monday, Sept. 19. The quake hit at 1:05 p.m. local time, according to the U.S. Geologic Survey, which said the quake was centered near the boundary of Colima and Michoacan states.
It said the quake was centered 37 kilometers southeast of Aquila near the boundary of Colima and Michoacan states and at a depth of 15.1 kilometers . "It started slowly and then was really strong and continued and continued until it started to relent," said 16-year-old Carla Cárdenas, a resident of Coalcoman. Cárdenas ran out of her family's hotel and waited with neighbors.
"This is a coincidence," that this is the third Sept. 19 earthquake, said U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Paul Earle."There's no physical reason or statistical bias toward earthquakes in any given month in Mexico."
