A massive earthquake hit Mexico Friday evening, February 16, leaving buildings shaking throughout the southern portion of the country.
There is no tsunami threat from the quake, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
Videos on social media show people in the streets grabbing onto a car as the ground started shaking. Footage inside a building show lights swaying back and forth with people lined up along a hallway.
It's unclear if any damage or injuries were reported.
The U.S. Geological Survey put its preliminary magnitude at 7.2 and said its epicenter was 33 miles (53 kilometers) northeast of Pinotepa in Oaxaca state. It had a depth of 15 miles (24 kilometers).

The epicenter is a rural area of western Oaxaca state near the Pacific coast and the border with Guerrero state.
The Oaxaca state civil protection agency said via Twitter that it was monitoring the coastline.
In the Condesa neighborhood, which was hit hard on September 19, frightened residents flooded into the streets, including one woman wrapped in just a towel, but there were no immediate signs of damage.
'I'm scared,' Rojas Huerta said. 'The house is old.'
Mexico is no stranger to earthquakes. The country dealt with two back-to-back quakes in September that left hundreds dead after buildings crumbled, including schools.
More than 90 people died after the first earthquake on Sept. 7, then days later on Sept. 19, another disaster struck in Central Mexico. Several hundred were left dead.
The second tragedy landed on the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City, which left an estimated 9,500 people dead.
