The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning for parts of Mexico’s coast, saying waves reaching up to 3m above the tide level were possible. In an earlier message before announcing the death in Manzanillo, López Obrador had said there were no initial reports of fatalities but that there was material damage in areas near the epicentre. Images posted on social media showed buildings badly damaged.
In Coalcoman, Michoacan — near the epicentre of the earthquake — pictures showed shingles knocked off homes and building walls cracked by the force of the quake. In one store, merchandise was scattered across the floor.
