A new earthquake sent residents streaming into the streets of Mexico City early Saturday, creating a fresh wave of alarm in a country still reeling from two powerful earthquakes over the past three weeks. Saturday’s quake came as rescue crews continued to search for survivors in hard-hit villages and cities across central Mexico. The magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck central Mexico on Tuesday left at least 305 dead and multitudes homeless while damaging thousands of buildings in Mexico City and neighboring states. Quake alarms sounded throughout Mexico City on Saturday, and spooked residents dashed from homes and hotels. A hospital was evacuated in the port city of Salina Cruz in Oaxaca state.
