The magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck off the Central American nation's Pacific coastline, 28 miles southwest of Champerico, Guatemala, near the border with Mexico. The epicenter was 25 miles below the surface. In Guatemala City, people were evacuating homes in parts of the capital, and firefighters and rescue workers were on alert. Office workers were also evacuating buildings in Mexico City.

Geologists find U.S. East Coast quakes travel farther than those that strike the West Coast. Scientists also found the quake that caused more than $200 million in damage-triggered landslides at distances four times farther and over an area 20 times larger than research from previous quakes has shown.

SPACE WEATHER -
SO THIS IS SOLAR MAXIMUM -- Forecasters have long expected the Solar Max of 2013 to be THE WEAKEST OF THE SPACE AGE. It might be EVEN WEAKER than they thought. The sun is underperforming. Sunspot numbers are notoriously variable, so the actual counts could rapidly rise to meet or exceed the predicted curve. For now, however, the face of the sun is devoid of large sunspots, and there have been no strong flares in more than a week. The threshold of Solar Maximum looks a lot like Solar Minimum. (graph )
