Coastal areas as far south as Ecuador bracing for tsunami

MEXICO CITY - A magnitude-8.2 earthquake rocked Mexico on Thursday, killing at least 32 people and triggering a series of aftershocks and a tsunami alert in what the president called the country's biggest quake in a century.

Officials evacuated residents along the central and southern Pacific coast as seismologists warned a tsunami of more than three meters could be headed toward land, affecting coastal towns as far south as Ecuador.
