Earthquake jolts Mexico City

MEXICO CITY (CNN) -- A strong
earthquake jolted Mexico City on
Thursday, causing buildings to sway
and startled residents to run into the
streets.

There were no immediate reports of
damage or injuries.

CNN's Mexico City Bureau Chief, Harris Whitbeck, said the quake could
be felt for about two minutes.

"I can tell you that the tremor lasted quite a long time, at least, I'd say, at
least a minute 45 (seconds), maybe even two minutes," Whitbeck said.

Electricity did not go off in the area around the
CNN offices in Mexico City. But Whitbeck
said frightened residents and workers ran
outside.

"The streets are filled with people, with office
workers, who ran out of the buildings as soon
as it started shaking," Whitbeck said shortly
after the quake was reported.
