There is some damage

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake shook Mexico. Its epicenter was 37 km northwest of San Marcos and 14 km southeast of Acapulco, Guerrero, according to the US Geophysical Institute (USGS).

The epicenter was near the city of Acapulco at a depth of 20 kilometers, and the quake was also felt in Mexico City, which is 370 kilometers away from the coast, Reuters reports.
