On December 10, 2011 a 6.5 magnitude earthquake hit Guerrero state in western Mexico that caused buildings to shake and panic among people in the area. The shaking could be felt in the resort area of Acapulco and at least 3 people have died due to the quake. The quake occurred at a depth of 40.3 miles and was centered 26 miles of the city of Iguala and 103 miles southwest of Mexico City. The quake was felt in parts of nine states in Mexico according to Mexico's Interior Department. Of the three deaths, one man was killed in his house when the roof collapsed, another died in a small town of Ixcateopan and another was killed in a cargo truck by rocks that fell on the vehicle during the quake. Some secondary highways between Acapulco and Mexico City were blocked due to rockslides. There was reportedly not significant damage and power only failed in some areas. Effects of the earthquake were magnified in parts of Mexico City due to the resting of the city on soil of a former lake bed.
