Mexico was hit by tropical storm Katia less than 24 hours after the most powerful earthquake that hit the country in the last 100 years – a devastating 8.1 magnitude earthquake – killed at least 61 people.

Among a tsunami, loud booms and mysterious flash, the tropical storm and the dangerous earthquake produced huge and deep cracks in the ground, splitting up Jáltipan, Veracruz in half.

Mexico’s president said it was the biggest quake in the country in a century with a million left without power. This is the strongest quake to hit the capital since a 1985 tremor flattened swathes of Mexico City and killed thousands.
