The U.S. Geological Survey says Friday’s second tremor was centered near the earlier quake in Mexico’s Oaxaca state.

The shaking jangled nerves in central Mexico, a region still jittery over  a magnitude 7.1 earthquake on Sept. 19th that caused 228 deaths in the capital and 141 more in nearby states.  Many buildings i9n Mexico City are still damaged from that quake
