7.2 Earthquake Hits Mexico

An 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit Mexico on Friday in the southwestern state of Guerrero, near Acapulco. Early reports indicate that there has not been major damage, and the U.S. Pacific Warning Center says it does not expect a tsunami to be triggered. Guerrero is frequently hit by seismic activity. In 1985, a 8.1-magnitude earthquake left thousands dead after it struck Mexico City.
