Mexico's 7.3 Quake Triggers Tsunami Warning Within 300 Kilometers
USGS places the rupture 58 kilometers southwest of Puerto Madero, extending the tsunami threat to coasts already flagged for liquefaction risk.
- USGS's tsunami warning spans every coastline within 300 kilometers of the July 17 rupture.
- The quake struck at 14:48 UTC, 58 km southwest of Puerto Madero, Mexico.
- USGS had already flagged liquefaction hazard as red for the 120,000 residents nearby.
Why it matters: The sea got its warning only after review; the ground under 120,000 people never got one.
