Obama Hosts Mexican, Canadian Leaders; 6.3 Quake In Mexico
ASHLEIGH BANFIELD, CNN ANCHOR: I'm Ashleigh Banfield in for Brooke Baldwin. We want to wrap up what you're witnessing on your screen right now, three leaders going by first names today. Steven, Felipe and Barack leaving now, the gaggle with the reporters. This has been an extraordinary wide ranging news conference, covering everything from oil pipelines to trade to weapons trafficking and health care and very insightful particularly to the relationship of those three particular leaders, Felipe Calderon, Steven Harper and Barack Obama. We want to switch now to some other breaking news. Word of an earthquake in Mexico right now. I want to take you live to Chad Myers who's standing by. This is in the same area that we had an earthquake just a couple of weeks ago, Chad.</s>CHAD MYERS, AMS METEOROLOGIST: It is exactly. March 20th, there was 7.4 earthquake right here. Today, it's a 6.3 considered an aftershock. You'll get aftershocks for an entire year from now. But I'll tell you what? This is the 6.3 right at the same area and I'm not so concerned because it is a smaller quake. What we're concerned about is that so many buildings were already damaged. It's like having another thunderstorm come by after a tornado has already knocked down part of the house, same idea. The shaking, not as significant at two weeks ago, but still shaking in places where houses are broken. Now the shake map and the quake maps and all of the data coming out of the USGS is not that much damage probably less than $10 million worth of damage done by this quake. But still, at least a chance, about a 30 percent chance of people being killed with this earthquake even though it was much smaller, we'll keep watching it and listening for more data -- Ashleigh.</s>BANFIELD: And Chad, I'm also just looking here at the updates coming in. It looks as though it was felt in six states, all in Central Mexico. For those who aren't familiar with the geography, is that a vast area or are those small states?</s>MYERS: It is a vast area, Oaxaca, obviously, the area that it was concerned about the most. We did feel a little bit of shaking in Mexico City, Oaxaca being the state right here. Even all the way over to Acapulco seeing a little bit of shaking, but compared to the last earthquake, Ashleigh, this was probably 40 percent to 80 percent less shaking than they saw before.</s>BANFIELD: Yes and so far, we're seeing no reports of death or injuries, but stay on that and keep us updated if you would, Chad. Thanks very much. We also have other breaking news to bring you up to date on as well, a busy day. Reports of shooting in Oakland, California, involving a religious university. We've got a team look into this and we are zeroing in on the details. More in just a moment.
