Let us tell you that earlier last week, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake was also felt in Mexico. Strong tremors were felt off the coast of Mexico’s southern state of Chiapas. A tsunami warning was also issued in Mexico after the earthquake. The tremors were felt in parts of Central America. Neighboring countries like El Salvador and Guatemala were also shaken by the earthquake. The US Geological Survey (USGS) said that the earthquake occurred at a depth of just 10 kilometers below the ground near the Mexican city of Puerto Madero, which caused rapid ground shaking in the surrounding areas, causing buildings to shake.
