In Mexico City, Mayor Marcelo Ebrard sent tweets saying there was no visible damage in the capital and that the sprawling city's strategic services and water system were functioning.

Regardless, he tweeted, numerous buildings were being evacuated.

[Updated at 2:33 p.m. ET] Eleven miles is about the same depth as the devastating Haitian quake of 2010, according to CNN meteorologist Chad Myers, who said the region can expect aftershocks.

The epicenter was about 15 miles east of Ometepec in the Guerrero region, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

[Updated at 2:28 p.m. ET] Updated information from the U.S. Geological Survey indicates it was a 7.6-magnitude earthquake. It struck at a depth of almost 11 miles.

[Updated at 2:24 p.m. ET] CNN's Nick Parker in Mexico City said the earthquake lasted about 10 or 15 seconds.

"The room I was in rattled. A few vases rattled around," he said.

[Updated at 2:21 p.m. ET] The U.S. Geological Survey is reporting that the temblor that struck the Mexican capital registered a preliminary magnitude of 7.9.

It struck in the Guerrero region, with its epicenter about 92 miles west of Oaxaca and about 120 miles east of Acapulco.

[Posted at 2:16 p.m. ET] Residents rushed into the streets of Mexico City on Tuesday after a strong earthquake hit.
