Up to 17 people from one town have been killed in the biggest Mexican earthquake for a century as the death toll from the disaster climbed to 26 today.
The earthquake was felt across Mexico, toppling houses, shaking buildings in the country's capital and leaving a million without power amid reports tremors were detected as a far away as Austin, Texas - more than 1,300 miles from the epicentre.
Terrified residents in Mexico City ran out into the streets after the quake struck, witnesses said. Tremors were the strongest in a hundred years, according to President Enrique Pena Nieto - greater even than a devastating earthquake in 1985 that hit the capital flattening swathes of the city and killing thousands.
The quake struck at 11.49pm last night, 76 miles southwest of the town of Pijijiapan, at a depth of 43 miles with the tremors killing at least 17 in Juchitan, in Mexico's Oaxaca state.  
Authorities initially declared a tsunami alert stretching all the way south to Ecuador, but lifted it several hours later. Coastal Puerto Madero was earlier evacuated amid fears of a wave of up to 12ft.

MAGNITUDE 8.0 EARTHQUAKE SMASHES MEXICO; DESTABILIZES ENTIRE SAN ANDREAS FAULT AND CASCADIA SUBDUCTION ZONE

The United States Geological Survey is reporting that a MASSIVE Magnitude 8.0 earthquake took place immediately off the west coast of the state of Chiappas, Mexico  at 12:49 AM Eastern US time.  A TSUNAMI has struck and will strike elsewhere.  Buildings have collapsed and a number of deaths are already confirmed!
The quake took place at a depth of only 35km, which is quite shallow, and has caused staggering damage.  A Tsunami warning may be pending because the shockwaves from the quake have affected the nearby Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a Bulletin alerting there is a "Tsunami Threat." HERE
 
 The American NOAA tsunami system indicates tsunami waves up to 3 meters for Mexico! When you are living in coastal area of the islands of the Pacific, Central America, Northern part of South America and the United states please follow your local alert guidelines + check the specialized Tsunami bulletins at NOAA
Update: GDACS Tsunami simulation. Theoretical tsunami levels up to 1.1 meter. Coastal areas are at risk.


Update 06:22 UTC: HIGH Tsunami risk for all Central American countries

 
Tsunami waves of more than 3 meters, or nearly 10 feet, above the tide level are possible along some coasts of Mexico, the PTWC said.
It added that tsunami waves of 0.3 to 1 meters above the tide level were possible for some coasts of the Cook Islands, Ecuador, French Polynesia, Guatemala and Kiribati.

 TWENTY-TWO TSUNAMI BUOYS SOUNDING "ALERT"

This earthquake was so incredibly powerful it triggered almost ALL the Tusnami Warning Buoys in the Pacific Ocean, some as far away as JAPAN!  Even more incredible, it also triggered ALERTS from Tsunami Buoys in BOTH the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic Ocean coast of the United States ! ! ! ! ! ! 

 

Tsunami waves of less than 0.3 meters above tide level were possible Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Hawaii, Honduras, Jarvis Island, Nicaragua, the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Palmyra Island, Panama and Peru.

The quake's preliminary reading had been at magnitude 8.0.
