Mexican City Residents Awakened by Small Quakes

Mexico’s stock exchange building in Mexico City

Mexico City residents were given an unexpected jolt in the early hours of the morning as two small earthquakes rumbled beneath their feet. The consecutive 'micro' quakes, although relatively minor in magnitude, were enough to wake people up and disrupt their sleep.

The first quake, measuring 3.6 on the Richter scale, struck at approximately 4:17 am local time. The epicenter was located near the borough of Tlalpan in the southern part of Mexico City. Just moments later, at around 4:29 am, a second quake with a magnitude of 3.9 hit nearby, adding to the confusion and alarm felt by residents.
