In one of the strongest earthquakes since 1985's Mexico City shaker, the south-west Mexican state of Guerrero experienced a 7.4-magnitude shock mid-day Tuesday. Producing several aftershocks, the quake was felt as far away as Guatemala City, approximately 600 miles from the epicenter.Traffic jams and building evacuations abounded, while 800 homes were damaged, according to some reports. Some have been injured, though no deaths have been reported as of yet.
Although the earthquake is not expected to create a widespread tsunami, there is still a chance that tsunami effects will be experienced locally.
Guerrero last experienced a major earthquake (magnitude 6.5) in 2008.
