Unusual earthquakes in Guanajuato and San Luis Potosí; supervision tours conducted

Published September 6th, 2021

The National Seismological Service recorded early Saturday morning a 4.5 earthquake north of San Felipe, Guanajuato, and Cuerámaro. The time of the quake: 4:38 in the morning.

Through the networks, users shared that they felt the earthquake when they felt the earth move, as well as the movement of their doors and windows.

This is how the Cuerámaro earthquake was recorded.

As a result of the earthquake registered early this morning, the networks shared how the statue of Marquez de Jaral, at the top of the Ex-Hacienda de Jaral de Berrios, fractured.

The movement caused it to fracture and detach, falling into the void and breaking in two, leaving it lying on the public road.

The statue, which dates from the 17th century, is located in the central part of the roof of the former hacienda.

El Otro Enfoque reports cracks in hills and roads in Cuerámaro and San Felipe.

In the cities of Silao and Leon, they also report that they felt the seismic movement.

San Felipe Torres Mochas, where the epicenter was registered, IS NOT A SEISMIC ZONE, which is why this tremor calls the attention of the emergency systems.
