Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 8:12PM
Usually most of the shaking coming out of Mexico involves what American tourists feel in their stomach when they return home, but today a strong 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit Southern Mexico on shaking central and southern parts of the country. Fear and panic spread as a less powerful, magnitude-5.1 aftershock was also felt in the capital.
Hours after the shaking at noon local time, there were still no reports of death or serious injury. Some buildings and homes were reported as damaged.
