EARTHQUAKE: A 7.6 magnitude earthquake strikes historic Oaxaca region in Mexico, Tuesday afternoon. According to the USGS, the earthquake had a depth of 17.5 km (10.9 miles). Malia Obama is approximately 101 miles away in the city of Oaxaca on her spring break vacation? If she is still there, I am praying for her safe return. I can hear the chorus from the haters right now…..
The earthquake hit small towns in south Mexico, which may have sustained serious damage. First Lady Michelle Obama’s Communications Director, Kristina Schake, released a statement saying Malia Obama “is safe and was never in danger.” Mexican President Felipe Calderon says no serious damage was reported from the earthquake.
Separately, a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Papua, New Guinea, according to the USGS.
