A 6.5-magnitude earthquake shook Mexico City and parts of southwestern Guerrero state on Friday, the national seismological service confirmed.<\/p>\n
President Claudia Sheinbaum was forced to evacuate the presidential palace during her regular morning press conference, along with the journalists in attendance, when the earthquake alert sounded.<\/p>\n
They returned minutes later.<\/p>\n
Sheinbaum said the earthquake’s epicenter was situated 15 kilometers (nine miles) from San Marcos, in the southern state of Guerrero. That is about 230 kilometers from Mexico City.<\/p>\n
Sheinbaum said that preliminary reports indicated no serious damage in either Mexico City or Guerrero.<\/p>\n
The US Geological Survey said the quake struck at 1358 GMT, or 7:58 am local time.<\/p>\n
The center of Mexico City is built on the muddy subsoil of what was once the bed of a lake, making it particularly vulnerable to earthquakes.<\/p>\n
Those most strongly felt usually originate off Guerrero state on the Pacific coast.<\/p>\n
On September 19, 1985, an 8.1 magnitude earthquake devastated a vast swathe of Mexico City, leaving nearly 13,000 dead, according to official figures.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
