Strong quake shakes Mexico; no reports of damages

Mexico City: A strong earthquake shook a large swathe of southern and central Mexico on Saturday, triggering the quake alarm system in Mexico City and causing buildings to sway. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from the quake, which measured 7.2 in magnitude, according to Mexicos National Seismological Service and the US Geological Survey. Panicked residents flooded into the street, fearing a repeat of two earthquakes last September that caused buildings to collapse and killed 465 people combined. "To be honest, were all pretty upset. We start crying whenever the (earthquake) alarm goes off. Were stressed out, we have flashbacks. So we run out into the street. Its all we can do," 38-year-old publicist Kevin Valladolid said through tears after evacuating from his building in La Roma, in central Mexico City. On the north side of the city, Julia Hernandez said she felt like she was "in a boat" as the ground swayed beneath her feet. "Is it ever going to stop?" she said. "We live in constant fear, with the memory of what happened" in previous quakes, her daughter added.
