Other people in Mexico City and southern Oaxaca state, where the quake’s epicenter was located, flooded the streets as the ground seethed, memories of collapsed buildings still fresh. In Mexico City, the wounds from the Sept. 19 quake still had not healed when Friday’s earthquake struck. The U.S. Geological Survey originally put the magnitude of Friday’s quake at 7.5 but later lowered it to 7.2. It said the epicenter was 33 miles (53 kilometres) northeast of Pinotepa in southern Oaxaca state. The Oaxaca state government said via Twitter that only material damages were reported near Pinotepa and Santiago Jamiltepec.
