About Earthquakes

U.S. seismologists said a magnitude 6.8 earthquake shook the coast
of Guatemala on Wednesday.

The earthquake reportedly took place about 3:30 p.m. EDT. The
United States Geological Survey reported that the earthquake struck about
70 miles southwest of Guatemala City, the country's capital.

Firefighters in Guatemala City said they had no immediate reports
of injury or damage, although experts warned the earthquake may have
caused damage in the Central American country due to its location and
size.

Rafael Abreua, a U.S. Geological Survey official, told CNN that
this type of quake -- which was centered deep in the Earth's crust -- was
unlikely to cause a tsunami, though there could be some local wave
activity.

The quake was felt in neighboring El Salvador and recorded as far
away as Midway Island.
