Earthquakes Kill 1, Shake Buildings in Guatemala

Two earthquakes rattled buildings and killed one person in a landslide in southern Guatemala today, the Buenos Aires Herald reports. An initial 4.8 quake struck the sugar cane-growing area near Santa Rosa, followed by a 5.8 temblor about a half-hour later. "There is one dead in Cuilapa, Santa Rosa, due to a landslide caused by the quake. Another house in Santa Rosa collapsed as well," a volunteer fireman said. The quakes also rattled buildings in Guatemala City, 33 miles away. (More Guatemala stories.)
