    Earthquake strikes far off Mexican coast

    MEXICO CITY (AP) — An earthquake has shaken the seabed well off Mexico's Pacific coast.

    The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude-6.3 quake at 5:32 a.m. (1232 GMT) Tuesday was centered 206 miles (333 kilometers) south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas and 141 miles (227 kilometers) from Socorro Island. That volcanic island is inhabited by a small Mexican Navy detachment and its waters are popular with scuba divers.

    There are no reports of damage or injury. The USGS initially calculated the magnitude at 6.5

    The U.S. National Weather Service's Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has not posted any warning or advisory for the quake, which was centered about 3 miles (5 kilometers) deep.

      By now, it should be obvious to even he most casual observer that the tectonic plates are in motion.

      I suppose it won't be long now before we start building bridges over the waters between West California and East California.

      Wouldn't it be great if a tsunami formed and just ripped mehico off the map and gave the U.S. a more scenic view with a nice new beachfront? Ahhhhhhh, one could only wish! The lost city of Atmehico! No loss there!

      How do these guys decide when a tsunami warning is issued? This was a shallow quake and none issued, and sometimes for the deeper ones, there are some (or none) issued also. Don't quite understand the science behind this.

      For all you religious freaks by the way, if there was a Jesus and he did return, he would be more liberal that you fantasize. Serious anti-capitalist, anti-war, free health care advocate and activist. Crazy egotist, but liberal for sure.

      TO CLEVER: my dear friend,, I MEAN NO FEAR to any one when i speak of JEsus returning, IM SPEAKING COLD HARD TRUTHS, read the newtestament in the bible, IM TELLING YOU OF THINGS prophesied in the bible, NOT MY OPINIONS, the bible prophesied 2000 years ago about things that are happening every day now, exactly how the bible said it would happen too, and as a CHIld of GOD its my duty to warn others, GOD GIVES no dates of when the exact end of life as we know it is, any one who gives dates is false prophecying, but JESUS GIVES US SIGNS, frequent earthquakes in various places and they are daily now, the media doesnt even report on how many there really are, is one of the MANY signs the bible is given, Im an avid bible reader and let me tell youall the other signs are coming to place daily now! JESUS IS RETURning for his people LIKE IT OR NOT, its happening! YOu have a choice to believe and accept him or not, MANKIND was given this choice 1000s of years ago.!! he is not a religion, church, denomination, he is our creator and coming to take his believing children back to him!

      muahahaha... as i look into my crystal ball... I foresee the whole world caving in. First it shall be wars, economic failure caused by corruption, drought, starvation, loss of hope amongst the world population, natural disasters world wide, and as the earth shakes, and crumbles apart countries shall fall into the ocean, as the earth cleanses itself and flushes everything down the drain, muahahahaha.....LOL hahaha

      Is the Mexican coast far off, or did the quake strike far off of the Mexican coast?

      Just because the visions of First Century Stoner John of Patmos seem to be accurate, that is not PROOF that the interpretation of the PPPTP* is as accurate. The PPPTP exists as an organization to ensure its own continuance, and the continuous flow of revenues into the temple; so how they interpret the Scripture is questionable, at best; venal and self-serving at worst..
