Strong Quake Shakes South Mexico, Felt in Capital

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A strong earthquake measuring 7.6 in magnitude on the Richter scale
shuddered through southern Mexico on Saturday, shaking buildings as far away as the capital,
authorities and witnesses said.

There were no immediate reports of deaths, damage or injuries as a result of the earthquake,

although magnitudes at such levels can be destructive.

``The quake measured 7.6 on the Richter scale and happened at 11:34 a.m.'' a spokesman at the
National Seismological Office told Reuters, adding it looked to be centered close to the coast of the
southwestern state of Chiapas, bordering Guatemala.

Lamps and other furniture wobbled in offices and houses in Mexico City, some 450 miles from
Chiapas, one of Mexico's poorest states.

``We still have no report (on the impact of the earthquake),'' a spokesman from the government's
National Civil Protection Agency told Reuters.
