A strong earthquake shook communities along the Gulf of California on Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 6.6 quake struck at 1:14 a.m. local time at a depth of 6 miles. The offshore epicenter was 48 miles south-southwest of Los Mochis.
It was preceded by two other earthquakes of magnitude 4.9 and 5.3.
Mexico’s national coordinator of civil protection, Luis Felipe Puente, sent a tweet saying that there were no immediate reports of damage in Sinaloa state, where Los Mochis lies, or in Baja California Sur on the other side of the gulf.
