Reuters has a short bit up:
“Oaxaca’s civil protection service said no damage had been reported so far.
“In Mexico City, tall buildings swayed for more than a minute as seismic alarms sounded throughout the city, and tremors were felt as far away as Guatemala to the south.
“Television images showed thousands of people in the streets in the city center, where crowds had gathered to celebrate the Chinese New Year.”

IIRC, this epicenter isn't too far from the big one on the west coast of Mexico a few weeks ago... Not good. Especially for those poor folks who were just beginning to rebuild...
