The downtown of Mexico City is notoriously vulnerable to earthquakes because of the very soft and wet ground underneath. Its soil amplifies shaking like Jell-O on a plate, and is prone to liquefaction, which is the ability to transform dirt into a dense liquid when sufficiently churned," wrote John Vidale, a seismologist and director of the Southern California Earthquake Center.
earthquake struck at a depth of about 33 miles (51 km).
Mexico City has a system that warns of strong shaking off of the country's coast, according to the USGS. The system consists of sensors that detect shaking from a large earthquake and rapidly determine the location and magnitude.
Since Mexico City is hundreds of miles from the main plate boundary, it gets about a minute or more of warning of the impending shaking.
As far as the reports says around 500+ casualties reported.
