Guerrero, Mexico - A series of at least six earthquakes - two reaching at least 5.0 magnitude - struck in the Mexican state of Guerrero on Sunday, which is still reeling from deadly tropical storms last month.

The epicenter of the strongest quake - 5.21 magnitude according to the National Seismological Service - was located in the mountainous area where a September 16th mudslide buried the entire town of La Pintada.

Residents walk along a road leaving La Pintada, Guerrero, Mexico. At least six earthquakes struck the already ravaged area last Sunday, October 6th.

"We are monitoring the areas affected by the recent rains because the soil is moist and that can generate problems from the trembling, but so far, we have no news," said Jose Luis Serna, civil protection director of the town nearest the epicenter, Coyuca de Benitez.

The quakes were also felt with moderate intensity in the resort town of Acapulco, which is recovering from the massive flooding brought on when storms Ingrid and Manuel swept across the country in mid-September.

Authorities recommended moving "away from risk areas, such as slopes and where there are cracks in the ground," Guerrero governor Angel Aguirre said in his Twitter account.

Tourists in Acapulco were evacuated from hotels to the Costera Miguel Aleman, the port town's main tourist road. All six quakes were recorded between 9:00 and 10:36 am and so far no damage has been reported.

One of the larger quakes, around 5.0-magnitude, prompted seismic alarms in Mexico City, over 180 miles away - though the shaking was virtually imperceptible in most parts of the prodigious city.

No damage was reported in the capital, according to a statement from public security authorities.

The death toll from the tropical storms last month has reached 157, with 53 people still missing, and 1.5 million homes damaged.
