In Mexico City, a powerful earthquake hit on Tuesday, killing dozens of people.
According to Officials, at least 119 people are dead from the 7.1 magnitude earthquake. The earthquake left more than 3.8 million customers with an electricity interruption.
The epicenter of the quake was located in the central state of Puebla, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
This disaster comes less than two weeks after another earthquake killed 90 people in south Mexico and on the 32nd anniversary of the massive 8.1 magnitude that hit Mexico City Sept. 19, 1985—which killed more than 10,000 people and left about 30,000 injured.
This devastating natural disaster was preceded by several others within the past month—Category 4 Hurricane Harvey that slammed Houston, Category 5 Hurricane Irma, and most recently Category 5 Hurricane Maria that is rampaging throughout the Caribbean.
