The United States and Mexico are preparing for a World Cup qualifying match on Tuesday night, but the rest of the population in Mexico was dealing with an environmental danger, as an earthquake hit Mexico City on Tuesday.

According to CBS News.com, a magnitude-5.5 quake hit the area in the morning at 7:04 a.m according to the U.S. Geological Survey, who said that it centered about 10 miles west-southwest of Pinotepa Nacional on the Pacific Coast. Mexico Seismology Service said the magnitude was nearly 6.0 and that a second quake also hit in the same spot just eight minutes later, setting off more alarms and forcing people to flee buildings in the city.

There was no major damage and the previous day a 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit Guatemala, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The area has dealt with a number of quakes in recent years, including in November of last year when a magnitude-7.4 earthquake landed in Guatemala killing nearly 50 people.

"So far we have received no reports of damage and we're monitoring nationwide," said Mario Cruz, a spokesman for firefighters.
