Breaking / A Large earthquake has struck in South Central Mexico. 7.1 rocks seismographs around the world. Very early, just happened.

A powerful earthquake jolted central Mexico on Tuesday, causing buildings to sway sickeningly in the capital on the anniversary of a 1985 quake that did major damage. National Civil Protection chief Luis Felipe Puente tweeted that there were no reports of damage so far, but thousands of people fled office buildings along the central Reforma Avenue as alarms blared, and traffic stopped around the Angel of Independence monument. The US Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 7.1 and was centered near the Puebla state town of Raboso, about 76 miles (123 kilometers) southeast of Mexico City. In Mexico City pictures fell from walls, objects were shaken off of flat surfaces and computer monitors toppled over. Some people dove for cover under desks. Earlier in the day buildings across the city held preparation drills on the anniversary of the 1985 quake. Much of Mexico City is built on former lakebed, and the soil is known to amplify the effects of earthquakes even hundreds of miles away.

At least 100 dead after 7.1 magnitude earthquake hits Mexico

Authorities have said at least 100 people have been killed after a powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck central Mexico.

At least 54 people have died in the central Mexican state of Morelos following the quake, according to state officials.

At least 26 people have died in the state of Puebla, where a school also collapsed. The state is also where the epicenter of the quake struck.  

Sirens blared as first responders rushed through the streets of Mexico City, where Mayor Miguel Ángel Mancera has said at least four people have died.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said that 27 buildings have collapsed in Mexico City.

The quake shook buildings in the capital, sending people fleeing into the street.

Power was cut to 3.8 million customers, the national electricity company CFE said

It hit only hours after many people participated in earthquake drills around the nation on the anniversary of the devastating quake that killed thousands in Mexico City in 1985.

It hit 8km southeast of Atencingo in Puebla at a depth of 51km, the US Geological Survey said. 

Dozens of police, rescue workers and neighbors dug throughthe wreckage of collapsed buildings in Mexico City.

At least one survivor was pulled from a collapsed building in the city’s busy Condesa neighborhood, and another person was rescued from a six-story apartment building nearby.

In Cuernavaca, a city in Morelos that is a popular destination for weekend visitors from Mexico City, there were reports on local radio of people trapped beneath collapsed buildings.

Mexican TV and social media showed cars crushed by debris.

Mexican stocks and the peso currency dropped on news of the earthquake, and Mexico’s stock exchange suspended trading.

Mr Peña Nieto has called the county’s National Emergency Committee to “assess the situation and to coordinate actions”.

Mexico airport has halted all operations following the quake. 

US President Donald Trump vowed the US would “be there” for America’s southern neighbour.

He said on twitter, “God bless the people of Mexico City. We are with you and will be there for you.”

Earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above are regarded as major and are capable of causing widespread heavy damage

Powerful earthquake jolts central Mexico, damages buildings

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A powerful earthquake jolted central Mexico on Tuesday, cracking building facades and scattering rubble on streets in the capital on the anniversary of a devastating 1985 quake.

The quake caused buildings to sway sickeningly in Mexico City and sent panicked office workers streaming into the streets, but the full extent of the damage was not yet clear.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 7.1 and was centered near the Puebla state town of Raboso, about 76 miles (123 kilometers) southeast of Mexico City.

Thousands of people fled office buildings and hugged to calm each other along Mexico City’s central Reforma Avenue as alarms blared, and traffic stopped around the Angel of Independence monument.

In the Roma neighborhood, which was struck hard by the 1985 quake, piles of stucco and brick fallen from building facades littered the streets. Two men calmed a woman seated on a stool in the street, blood trickling form a small wound on her knee.

At a nearby market, a worker in a hardhat walked around the outside warning people not to smoke as a smell of gas filled the air.

Market stall vendor Edith Lopez, 25, said she was in a taxi a few blocks away when the quake struck. She said she saw glass bursting out of the windows of some buildings. She was anxiously trying to locate her children, whom she had left in the care of her disabled mother.

Pictures fell from office building walls, objects were shaken off of flat surfaces and computer monitors toppled over. Some people dove for cover under desks. Local media broadcast video of whitecap waves churning the city’s normally placid canals of Xochimilco as boats bobbed up and down.

Earlier in the day workplaces across the city held preparation drills on the anniversary of the 1985 quake, a magnitude 8.1 shake, which killed thousands of people and devastated large parts of Mexico City. Much of Mexico City is built on former lakebed, and the soil is known to amplify the effects of earthquakes even hundreds of miles away.
