A powerful earthquake has been felt in Mexico's capital, shaking buildings and sending people running into the street.

The magnitude 7.5 quake was centred in the western state of Guerrero, north of the beach resort of Acapulco, the US Geological Survey said.

There is no immediate word of damage or casualties.

Mexico City is vulnerable to earthquakes because much of it sits atop the muddy sediments of drained lake beds that quiver as quake waves hit.
