Powerful earthquake strikes Mexico, shaking buildings in capital

“It was terrible. It really reminds me of the 1985 quake every time something like this happens,” Yesmin Rizk, a 70-year-old resident of the city’s Roma Sur neighborhood, told Reuters. That natural disaster destroyed hundreds of buildings in the capital and killed at least 10,000 people, according to official estimates. Journalists and other observers believed the toll was far higher.
