From Center fort Disaster Philanthropy: An earthquake measuring 7.1 on the richter scale occurred on September 19 in central Mexico, as the country still reeled from an 8.1 earthquake on September 8, 2017 just off the country’s southern coast. The epicenters of the two earthquakes were roughly 400 miles apart. More than 250 people died in the Sept. 19, 2017 earthquake, and the number is expected to rise as search and rescue teams sort through the piles of rubble and buildings. The second earthquake effected areas of Mexico City and southward. Hurricane Katia has caused additional damage to the eastern coast.
