GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — A magnitude-6.9 earthquake on the Pacific Coast jolted a wide area of southern Mexico and Central America Monday, killing at least three people while damaging homes, hospitals and churches.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake hit at 6:23 a.m. (7:23 a.m. EDT; 11:23 GMT) on the Pacific Coast 1 mile (2 kilometers) north-northeast of Puerto Madero, near the Guatemala border. It initially calculated the magnitude at 7.1 but later lowered the figure to 6.9.

The quake was felt across a broad swath of southern Mexico and as far away as Mexico City, but officials had no immediate reports of damage.

Higher taxes and concentration of power in central authority will prevent this from happening in the future.

The quake was caused by the movement of tens of millions of DREAMERS moving north.

This is likely to cause an imbalance, with Mexico tipping over.

37 miles down — a deep one.

And still no aftershocks.

Could possibly be a foreshock.
