Major 7.6 earthquake on Mexico Pacific coast - USGS 6:28pm GMT

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A major 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck 120 miles (193 km) east of Acapulco on Mexico's Pacific coast, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Tuesday.

The USGS located the epicentre of the quake at 15 miles (525 km) east of Ometepec in Guerrero state at a depth of 10.9 miles (18 km).

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the inland earthquake would not generate a destructive widespread tsunami, but there was the possibility of some local tsunami effects.

The quake was felt in Mexico City where buildings shook and office employees fled into the street, according to a Reuters witnesses. Cell phone lines were down and traffic snarled in the capital moments after the quake.

Probably meant cell phone service as in cell phone towers.

Just had early last week a hail and windstorm here in Seattle that took out of service a local cell tower. Lost cell service including my cellular wifi.

Did you stay until the end? Skull and Bones and the 322? That's when I said, "Got me! Early April Fool!!"

I bailed out before the end. I quoted the bit about our binary sun from the comments.

Cell phone lines were down?

I suppose its like dialing the phone and turning on the lights. I remember actually having to dial a phone. Turning on the lights is before my time.
