Mexico City +Earthquake Sways Skyscrapers+

Mexico City +Earthquake Sways Skyscrapers+ A moderate earthquake rocked Mexico City, causing skyscrapers to sway and frightening residents, but emergency officials said no major damage or injuries were reported.

The U.S. Geological Service estimated the earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 5.9 and struck in Michoacan, 125 miles southwest of the capital. It was centered four miles northwest of the town of Huetamo and 59 miles below ground.
Some buildings announced brief evacuations, and hundreds ran into the streets.

The quake was too small and based too far inland to cause a tsunami, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
