A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck near Mexico City Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said, killing at least 44 people and leaving multiple people reportedly trapped in collapsed buildings.

Mexico State Gov. Alfredo del Mazo said the quake has killed at least two people in his state, which borders Mexico City. Del Mazo said a quarry worker was killed from a rock slide due to the quake, and another died when after being hit by a falling lamppost.

Hopefully, the death toll won't climb too high.

It was horrible, I thought I wasn’t gonna make it out of the building.
 
You were there? I'm glad that you are ok. I hope your family and friends are safe as well.
Thanks man, we are all okay but nearby buildings are all cracked, windows shattered, some buildings collapsed and the overall shock. I’ve never felt an earthquake this hard!
