There were no initial reports of damage in the nation’s capital, according to Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, following the earthquakes that struck Mexico on the same day as devastating quakes that struck the nation in 1985 and 2017.

“It’s this date, there’s something about the 19th,” said Ernesto Lanzetta, a business owner in the Cuauhtemoc borough of the city. “The 19th is a day to be feared.”
