7.1 earthquake rocks Mexico City, central Mexico

Quote:
A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck the central Mexican state of Puebla on Tuesday afternoon, the US Geological Survey said.

Preliminary reports put the epicenter 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) east-northeast of San Juan Raboso and 34.1 miles (55 km) south-southwest of the city of Puebla, according to the USGS.
It was felt in the center of Mexico City, which is only about 75 miles (121 km) from the epicenter.

The governor of Puebla said on Twitter that there were reports of damaged buildings.

Dozens of people killed. Mother nature is as nasty as I've seen her in that part of the World right now.

I heard a school collapsed and there's kids trapped in the rubble.
