Very strong 7.0 quake hits near Acapulco de Juarez, Acapulco de Juárez, Guerrero, Mexico

A shallow magnitude 7.0 earthquake was reported in the evening near Acapulco de Juarez, Acapulco de Juárez, Guerrero, Mexico.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Tuesday, September 7th, 2021, at 8:47 pm local time at a shallow depth of 12.6 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) which listed the quake at magnitude 7.2. Other agencies reporting the same quake include Geoscience Australia (GeoAu) at magnitude 7.1, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 7.0, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 6.9.
If the preliminary data about magnitude and depth are correct, the quake was extremely dangerous. It has the potential to cause catastrophic impacts on people and infrastructure, probably involving severe and wide-spread damage, especially in areas near the epicenter.
