Earthquake Hits S. Mexico, Guatemala

MEXICO CITY (AP) - An earthquake shook a broad swath of southern Mexico and Central America on Sunday, but there were few reports of damage and none of injury.

Mexico's National Seismological Service said the quake at 5:21 p.m. EST was centered in the state of Chiapas, near the Guatemalan border, and had a magnitude of 6.4.

Chiapas state civil defense officials said they had no immediate reports of damage, but in those in Guatemala said it toppled power lines onto houses in the municipality of Quetzaltenango in western Guatemala.

The quake caused tall buildings to sway in Mexico City and was felt at least as far south as San Salvador, almost 710 miles from the Mexican capital - a distance equivalent to that from New York City to Atlanta.
