6.5-magnitude earthquake strikes Guatemala

A 6.5-magnitude struck Guatemala yesterday Nov 11, 2012. The tremor was centered about 19 miles west-southwest of Champerico, Guatemala, and 115 miles from the capital, Guatemala city. The US agency said it was a 6.2-magnitude tremor, but later revised the report to a higher stroke. A number of significant after strokes followed with magnitudes as strong as 5.0. The earthquake was the strongest to hit since 1976. citizens are devastated, but the government is already on the act of rebuilding the citizens homes. Hope everything turns out fine.

  1. A lot of people don't consider the aftershock of an earthquake- there can be more damage!
