Well it never rains but it pours. Any confirmation of this news story?
Just mentioned it as breaking news on the BBC news channel. Just said Mexico City hit by 5.8 earthquake.

Mexico City must have pissed off God. Either that, or the US is using its secret doomsday device to fight all the drug lords in Mexico.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico was hit by a 6.0 magnitude earthquake on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The USGS said the quake hit 19 miles south-southeast of Tixtla, Guerrero, about 150 miles south of the capital, Mexico City. It was 25.6 miles deep.
Buildings in the capital shook.
Quakes of this magnitude are classified as strong and are capable of causing severe damage.
The USGS earlier reported the quake measured 5.8.
Nothing more beyond this.
5.8 is pretty weak, but when half the city is sinking anyway... Amusing.
