CNN: Powerful 7.1 Earthquake Strikes Central Mexico

‘This was a 7.1 earthquake, about 75 miles give or take southeast of Mexico City’

EXCERPT:

BALDWIN: "I want to get back on our big news though, on this earthquake. This breaking news, this powerful earthquake, 7.1 rocking Mexico. New video just in. Let’s go back to Allison Chinchar. Allison, what are you seeing."
CHINCHAR: "Right. So again, just for a refresher, this was a 7.1 earthquake, about 75 miles give or take southeast of Mexico City. This is where the earthquake was located. This, for reference is Mexico City, OK? The depth of this earthquake was about 51 kilometers deep, give or take, about 32 miles. In terms of earthquakes that is relatively deep, but not deep enough folks far away wouldn’t be able to feel it. Again, here is that point. This is where the epicenter of the quake was located. This is Mexico City. But you can see the yellow color spreading out, indicating that people there still felt it and not just felt it but likely encountered at least some damage from the earthquake. The question now is to what extent was that damage and how far out from the center is it going to be, OK?"
