A big earthquake

A massive earthquake struck off the west coast of Mexico on Monday at 2:05 PM EST. The Colima-Michocan region experienced strong tremors with an epicenter at a depth of 15.1 km. Its magnitude was estimated at 7.6 on the Richter scale. This sector is located between the resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco.
