Mexiko wackelt - Stärkstes Erdbeben seit 1932
Ein schweres Erdbeben der Stärke 8,2 hat den Süden Mexikos erschüttert. Ein TV-Sender meldet mindestens 15 Todesopfer. Die Behörden warnten vor einem Tsunami in der Region. Es gab zahlreiche Nachbeben.
Auch in der Hauptstadt verursachte das Beben erhebliche Schäden
Die Zahl der Todesopfer durch das schwere Erdbeben vor der Pazifikküste Mexikos ist auf mindestens 15 gestiegen. Das berichtet der Fernsehsender Foro TV unter Berufung auf den Staatspräsidenten Enrique Peña Nieto. Der Präsident sagte demnach nach einer Sitzung des Nationalen Zentrums für Katastrophenvorsorge zu Reportern, im Bundesstaat Oaxaca seien zehn Menschen ums Leben gekommen, in Chiapas drei und in Tabasco zwei.
Das Seismologische Institut in Mexiko gab die Stärke des Bebens zunächst mit 8,4, dann mit 8,2 an. Das Beben ereignete sich demnach 137 Kilometer südwestlich von Tonalá in einer Tiefe von 19 Kilometern. Andere Institute wie die US-Erdbebenwarte USGS hatten zunächst von einer Stärke von 8,0 gesprochen. Die USGS verortete den Erdstoß in 33 Kilometer Tiefe.

Tsunamiwarnung nach Erdbeben vor der Küste Mexikos
Andere Institute wie die US-Erdbebenwarte USGS hatten zunächst von einer Stärke von 8,0 gesprochen. Nach Angaben von Innenminister Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong wurden zwei Todesopfer in Chiapas gemeldet.
Für mehrere Länder der Region wurde eine Tsunamiwarnung ausgegeben - sie umfasste neben Mexiko mehrere Staaten in Mittelamerika sowie das südamerikanische Ecuador. Die Todesopfer waren zwei Frauen, die starben, als ein Haus in der Stadt San Cristobal einstürzte, wie Gouverneur Manuel Velasco mitteilte. Der Bundesstaat Chiapas liegt im Süden des Landes nahe der Grenze zu Guatemala.
Die Erdstöße waren auch im etwa 700 Kilometer entfernten Mexiko-Stadt sowie in andern Bundesstaaten und mehreren Ländern Mittelamerikas zu spüren. In Mexiko-Stadt und anderswo kam es zu zahlreichen Stromausfällen.
Staatspräsident Enrique Peña Nieto berief sofortige Krisensitzungen ein, «um die Lage zu überwachen, zu bewerten und um Maßnahmen zu ergreifen». Er machte sich auf den Weg in das nationale Katastrophenzentrum. Der Leiter des Zivilschutzes, Luis Felipe Puente, warnte die Menschen an der Küste der Bundesstaaten Oaxaca und Chiapas vor Wellen von bis zu 4,20 Meter Höhe. Vielerorts rannten verängstigte Menschen auf die Straßen. In Mexiko-Stadt, Oaxaca und Chiapas soll am Freitag der Unterricht in allen Schulen ausfallen, um die Gebäude auf mögliche Schäden durch das Beben zu überprüfen.
Die betroffene Region liegt auf dem sogenannten Pazifischen Feuerring, der immer wieder von heftigen Erdbeben erschüttert wird. Im Golf von Mexiko ist derzeit zudem der Hurrikan «Katia» unterwegs. Eine Hurrikan-Warnung sei für Teile des Staats Veracruz ausgegeben worden, berichtete der Wettersender Hurricane News. Im Osten Mexikos könnte es am Freitag und am Wochenende zu heftigem Regen und Sturmböen kommen.
Vor der Küste Mexikos hat es ein Beben der Stärke 8 mit Tsunamiwellen gegeben. Mindestens vier Menschen starben.

Eines der bisher schwersten Erdbeben hat Mexiko erschüttert. Staatspräsident Enrique Peña Nieto gab die Stärke des Bebens vor der Pazifikküste mit 8,2 an. "Es handelt sich um ein Beben großen Ausmaßes", sagte Peña Nieto im Fernsehen. Die Erdstöße waren auch im etwa 700 Kilometer entfernten Mexiko-Stadt sowie in den Bundesstaaten Puebla, Veracruz und Guerrero zu spüren. Für die gesamte Region wurde eine Tsunamiwarnung ausgegeben.

At least six people have been killed after a magnitude-8.1 earthquake struck Mexico, causing a tsunami and warnings for countries across Central America
The Governor of the Mexican state of Chiapas announced the first fatalities following the most powerful quake to hit the country since 1985, striking 119km south-southwest of Tres Picos.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said a tsunami had been triggered by the quake, with warnings issued for people in Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras and Ecuador.
The centre said waves as high as one metre had been observed in Mexico.
The centre said waves as high as one metre had been observed in Mexico.
Waves between 0.3 and one metres have been predicted for the Cook Islands, Ecuador, Fiji, French Polynesia, Guatemala and Kiritabi.
The centre forecast waves of 0.3 metres could reach Australia, Vietnam and Japan.
In the Philippines, the national disaster agency put the country's eastern seaboard on alert for a possible tsunami, Reuters reported.
The earthquake struck shortly after midnight off the coast of Mexico, leaving some buildings severely damaged in the south of the country.
The earthquake struck shortly after midnight off the coast of Mexico, leaving some buildings severely damaged in the south of the country.
The US Geological Survey estimates the earthquake, felt in Belize and Guatemala, occurred at a depth of 43 miles.
Mexico's civil protection agency said it was the strongest earthquake to hit the country since a devastating 1985 tremor that toppled buildings and killed thousands.
Manuel Velasco, the governor of Chiapas state, said the quake had destroyed homes and buildings and left some hospitals without power.
He has called for the evacuation of coastal areas in the southern state due to the tsunami alert.
The current Foreign Office travel advice says: “Most of Mexico is occasionally subject to earthquakes. Tremors occur regularly, particularly in the states of Oaxaca and Guerrero.” (independent.uk)

An earthquake of magnitude 8.1 hit the Mexico's southern coast on the 8th September 2017 at 04:49 UTC (Thrusday 7 September at 23h49 in local time). The epicentre was 98 km southwest of the town of Pijijiapan. More information on the main shock is available here.
It has been largely felt in Guatemala City at 350 km and more than 1000 km away from the epicenter in Mexico city. At the time of this report, three victims are reported in Chiapas, maybe one more in Guatemala. The international airport and some hospitals are damaged in Mexico City.
The last Mexico earthquake occurred in the context of a Subduction Zone. In this case the Cocos plate is subducted beneath North American plate producing large earthquakes on the region. The epicenter of this earthquake occurred offshore, reason why a tsunami alert was launched in the Pacific. At the moment of this report, only moderate tsunami arrivals were reported.
