PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – A pair of significant earthquakes with magnitudes of 5.6 and 5.9 shook Puerto Vallarta and other municipalities in Jalisco and Colima.
Amid the quakes, buildings in the city, including the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
SkyAlert, on its “X” account, previously known as Twitter, was among the first to confirm the first earthquake. According to the emergency alert service, the quake was of “mild” intensity and had its epicenter in the municipality of Pérula, in the state of Jalisco.
The National Seismological Service has yet to release additional details or insights into the event. While the earthquake’s effects in Puerto Vallarta appear minimal, with only light shaking, residents remain vigilant for updates and further instructions.
The tweet from SkyAlert read: “#EarthquakeDetected by @REDSkyAlert with ‘mild’ intensity in #Pérula, Jalisco.” Accompanying the message was a link to a picture presumably showcasing a seismic reading or related imagery.
Given the country’s history with seismic activity, Mexicans often rely on prompt and accurate information to ensure safety. The absence of official details has left many seeking further clarification. In the meantime, locals are advised to review earthquake preparedness measures and remain alert to any potential aftershocks.
