Deadly Mexico earthquake

By Duncan Mil

September 19, 2017 - More than 225 people have died in Mexico City and the surrounding states of Puebla and Morelos after a powerful earthquake struck central Mexico on Tuesday afternoon.

At least 4.5 million homes, businesses, and other facilities lost electricity, according to national power company Comisión Federal de Electricidad.

Tuesday's earthquake took place on the anniversary of a devastating earthquake that killed thousands in Mexico City in 1985.
