MEXICO CITY: A strong earthquake shook southern and central Mexico Friday, causing panic less than six months after two devastating quakes that killed hundreds of people. But two towns near the epicentre, in the southern state of Oaxaca, reported damage and state authorities said they had opened emergency shelters. We start crying whenever the (earthquake) alarm goes off,” 38-year-old publicist Kevin Valladolid told AFP through tears after evacuating from his building in La Roma, in central Mexico City. Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera reported “very minor” damage in the capital. The latest tremor comes less than six months after last year´s devastating earthquakes in central and southern Mexico.
