Thanks...you're fast 👍

I haven't seen anything on my maps so thanks for getting it to us so soon. I use the USGS and EQ3D (for a visual long after the quake). Will stay tuned.

Wow, that was interesting. I wonder if there are going to be more in that region. Hope it is not a prequake.

Has been revised to a 5.8 earthquake.usgs.gov...

M5.8 - 37km SW of Santiago Pinotepa Nacional, Mexico
2014-03-10 00:38:15 UTC

I see. 5.8 SW of Santiago on USGS so must be a different one since it's 37 KM from Santiago. Maybe they are figuring out what to list it as officially.
