The United States Geological Survey said that a 
magnitude 8.1 quake hit about 73 miles off Tres Picos, Mexico, along 
Mexico's southern coast.

                Its epicenter was 102 miles west of Tapachula in 
southern Chiapas state and had a depth of about 21 miles. The quake was 
so powerful, it sent people fleeing from buildings 650 miles away in 
Mexico City.
It has been a long time since a big quake hit Mexico. 
Civil protection officials in Mexico were checking for damage in 
Chiapas, but the quake was so powerful that frightened residents in 
Mexico City fled apartment buildings, often in their pajamas, and 
gathered in groups in the street.

                Around midnight buildings swayed strongly for more 
than minute, loosening light fixtures from ceilings. Helicopters 
crisscrossed the sky above Mexico City with spotlights.
It now has been rated 8.4.

	The BBC put the quake at 8.2 - and so far 26 deaths (on latest news, a lower figure is in the report) which number I expect to rise. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-41197831
