(Reuters) – An earthquake struck Mexico on Monday, shaking buildings in the capital and prompting people to stream out of their offices onto the street, although there were no immediate reports of damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was magnitude 6.3 and centered close to Ometepec in the southwestern state of Guerrero, where a much more powerful earthquake struck last month. It was measured at a depth of 6.2 miles, the survey said.
Marcelo Ebrard, the mayor of Mexico City said there were no initial signs of damage from a first flyover of the city, and telephones were still working.
Phone lines went down during the March 20 earthquake which measured 7.4 magnitude and unleashed panic and damaged hundreds of buildings in Guerrero and neighboring Oaxaca state.
