About 100 miles SE of Mexico City.
Interestingly, today is the anniversary of the 1985 8.0 quake.

RE: 7.1 Central Mexico - Island Chris - 09-20-2017
The quake was another normal faulting quake in the subduction zone, 12 days after the M8.1 normal faulting quake maybe 700 km to the southeast. Both were at similar depths. I find this quite the coincidence and wonder if they are linked:

In other news, rather big waves from Tropical Storm Jose at the lighthouse on the south tip of this island.
