On April 21, 1998 the city of Ciudad Altamirano, in the state of Guerrero, Mexico was hit by an earthquake of 5.4 Richters Magnitude that shook buildings in Mexico City. The city of Ciudad Altamirano has a population of 25,317 and is on the Rio Cutzamala River which is a branch of the Rio Balsas River, of course Rio means river in Spanish. The city of Ciudad Altamirano is named after Ignacio Manuel Altamirano, who was a 19th Century President of the Mexico Supreme Court. (Info courtesy of www.wikipedia.com ) The capital of the State of Guerrero, Mexico is Chilpancingo where there was also an earthquake on April 27, 2009 of 5.6 Richters Magnitude. Although I’m just naming that town because it is the capital of this state which is very near where the upcoming major earthquake should strike, note that the Capital city is not the location and I do not actually even know where the capital is on the map. I did however find the name of the city of Ciudad Altamirano and that there had been an earthquake there in the year 1998 and so I suppose that makes it reasonably possible that this could be the epicenter or very close to where this upcoming major earthquake could strike at any moment. I also named the two rivers, the one that runs through Ciudad Altamirano and the one that it is a branch of because very often such rivers seem to run very close if not parallel to fault lines.
The actual spot where the straight line that is the result of the recent Hurricane Karl that struck near Veracruz, Mexico runs very near this town, but actually just a little south of the actual town center. I will try to have another update and perhaps find another actual town like Ciudad Altamirano as soon as I can. As I write this it is now Day 4 after the landfall of that Category 3 Hurricane Karl, and a major earthquake is due in this region of Mexico or Central America at any moment now. I'll put my exact Magnitude at 7.1 Richters. Be prepared!!!!!
