Wacky Weather: Earthquake in Mexico

Alright so earthquakes aren't exactly meteorology but they are still an earth science, and to be quite honest it was either talk about an earthquake or complain how it's not anywhere near warm! I thought that I wouldn't be a Debbie Downer and would focus on an Earthquake. In Santiago Pinotepa Nacional, Mexico a 5.5 magnitude earthquake shook most of southern Mexico.

The epicenter was in Santiago Pinotepa Nacional which is about 200 miles from Mexico City, near Acapulco on the map above. There hasn't been any reports of injuries, but people said that buildings in Mexico City were shaking.
