| 6.7 Earthquake Hits Guerrero, Mexico |
| 2011-12-11 |
| A 6.7-magnitude earthquake has struck Mexico, shaking buildings and sending people rushing out on to the street. The quake, which struck the western state of Guerrero at 19:47 local time (01:47 GMT), was strongly felt in Mexico City. At least two people have died in the state, but reports suggest the country has escaped major damage. One person was killed after a roof collapsed in the small city of Iguala, while a second died after a rock fell on a small van on the Mexico City-Acapulco highway, officials said. The tremor - which was 40 miles (65km) deep - was also felt in other states including Michoacan, Puebla and Hidalgo, local media reported |

| #1 I just checked last night for earthquake or volcanic activity. Fairly quiet then. With the Lunar eclipse some thought increased activity would occur. On the 13th and 14th starting about 9-10PM all night we will have a meteor shower. The moon will interfere but you could see 50 or more meteors/hour till morning in the northeast as I recall. |
