I don't remember ever having so many aftershocks after a quake here. |
Apparently there have been 80 aftershocks associated with this quake:

And, geologists from the UNAM are looking into the possibility that all of this seismic activity portends the creation of a new volcano at the epicenter:

Cool...new volcano.
I assume this isn't a Hollywood event whereby the volcano appears, like, tomorrow. |

Not quite  . But they think it will be a small one, nothing like the monster that Paricut�n turned out to be:

That's really pretty exciting.
This location seems like it would have an impact on the coast if were to form and susbesquently errupt. Like Hawaii comes to Mexico. |

New volcano story being debunked now...
http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/notas/837556.html
Ah well...could have been something to add to the tourist route. Southern Mexican states are already expecting 50,000,000 visitors this year (over a usual 20+million yearly) just for the end of the Mayan calendar. This could have fed into that nicely... |
