🇲🇽 - A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck west-southwest of Puerto Madero, Mexico Two technical points that matter for impact: at 10 km, this is a shallow quake, which concentrates shaking at the surface and makes a given magnitude more destructive. And an offshore epicenter at this magnitude means tsunami advisories are a live question for Pacific coastal areas of Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador — watch for official word from Mexico's Marina/SSN and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. This is the Cocos-plate subduction zone, the same fault system that produced the M8.2 off Tapachula in September 2017. No official casualty or damage reports yet. Standard caution as this develops.
