Mexico City: Seismologists reported that a powerful earthquake of 7.0 magnitude jolted Mexico on Wednesday causing panic among the people.


As per reports, it was only 7.8 miles below the surface which engendered the shaking effect.
Several trees fell as the quake hit the hillsides around Acapulco. Natives rushed outside in fear.
The Governor of Guerrero state, which is home to Acapulco, Hector Astudillo says, "One person succumbed to this earthquake whereas no other serious damage has been reported".
Social Media is inundated with pictures showing intimidated people holding their children in the middle of the night amidst the rain.
