Quoted from AFP, according to the records of the national seismological agency, the earthquake rocked the city with the magnitude of 7.4. According to a seismologist report, Monday's earthquake coincided with the anniversary of two major earthquakes in 1985 and 2017. The epicenter was 59 km south of Coalcoman in the state of Michoacan on the Pacific Coast and a few hundred kilometers west of Mexico City.
