The US Geological Service initially estimated the quake at magnitude at 6.8, but downgraded it to 6.7 and then 6.5. A quake of that magnitude is capable of causing severe damage, although the depth of this temblor lessened its impact.
The USGS said the quake occurred at a depth of 64.9 kilometres. It was centred about 42 kilometres southwest of Iguala in Guerrero and 166 kilometres south-southwest of Mexico City."
