MEXICO CITY: A powerful 8.2-magnitude earthquake rocked Mexico late Thursday, killing at least 15 people and triggering a tsunami alert in what the president called the quake-prone country’s biggest one in a century. That is the same as a devastating 1985 earthquake that killed more than 10,000 people in Mexico City – the country’s most destructive ever. Mexican officials ordered schools to remain closed Friday in 11 states, including Mexico City, so officials could inspect for structural damage. The car was wobbling,” said Cristian Rodriguez, a 28-year-old Uber driver in Mexico City. In the end, the quake caused rough seas but no tsunami, officials said.
