Another microseism was registered this Thursday night in Mexico City, specifically in the Magdalena Contreras mayor’s office, reported the National Meteorological Service (SMN).
According to the agency, the magnitude 1.4 earthquake occurred northeast of the city at 10:01 p.m. It is the second accident in the day and the third in the week… and in the same mayor’s office.
This Thursday morning there was also a magnitude 1.7 earthquake with an epicenter northeast of the Magdalena Contreras mayor’s office; and on Wednesday night one magnitude 3.0.
On none of the occasions did the seismic alert sound, although the movement of the magnitude 3.0 earthquake was perceived by some citizens who assured that it felt like “a very strong pull.”
According to the CDMX Secretariat for Comprehensive Risk Management and Civil Protection, the municipalities in which the most intense movement on Wednesday night was perceived were: Benito Juárez, Álvaro Obregón, Cuauhtémoc, Coyoacán and Miguel Hidalgo.
Why doesn’t the seismic alert sound?
Although the movement of earthquakes with an epicenter in Mexico City is perceived by citizens, the 97 sensors that the seismic alarm system has are located in the states of Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán Guerrero, Oaxaca and Puebla.
This, because its main objective is to detect the earthquakes that are generated in the Cocos plate.
Mexico City is not located on the limits of said plate, but it does suffer the effects of telluric movements.
