NEIC has 7.6 Ms in Southern Oaxaca.  Actually a pretty good distance away
from Mexico City.

Worst damage is going to be in obscure places without a permanent
international media presence so at least initially the damage won't seem
that bad.

Until people get to Oaxaca.   Appears to be just onshore so at least there
won't be much chance of  a tsunami.
