Just throwing this in the mix, a 4.3, 5 minutes later from the Mexico quake in Bloomfield, MO. I looked it up, it’s 37 miles from the New Madrid Seismic fault. My husband and I had a place in that area in the late 80’s-mid 90’s. It’s supposedly in an “extinct volcano” region in the St. Francois Mountains. The quake is very shallow.

USGS showing no quake in that area at all.

Always have to wait for analysis after a big quake since far away sensors also pick up the big ones and it takes a bit for the waves to travel.

If there had been a 4.3 in that area, lots of people would have felt it.

A powerful earthquake struck near the Pacific resort city of Acapulco on Tuesday night, causing buildings to rock and sway in Mexico City nearly 200 miles away.


The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 and was centered about 10 miles northeast of Acapulco.


The mayor of Acapulco, Adela Román, said in statement to the television news outlet Milenio that “there is no really serious situation” so far and no reports of casualties.

“There are nervous breakdowns, people are worried because there have been aftershocks,” she said, adding that there are “many gas leaks in many places” as well as some landslides and fallen walls.

In Mexico City, the ground shook for nearly a minute in some parts of the capital, but was less evident in other parts. Some people evacuated their buildings briefly, but most quickly went back inside on a rainy night.

Mexico City authorities said there were no early reports of significant damage in the city, though they said electricity was knocked out in some neighborhoods.

Me too.

Last 30 days of quakes in area (pretty big area; all times showing Central time zone). None that would really be a foreshock.

The seismographs in a few states and Yellowstone picked up energy but not any quakes.
