Looks like a fairly remote area at least.
Fun fact - Acapulco is one of the most dangerous cities in the world now.

For reference, the famous 1994 L.A. earthquake was a 6.7.
If this one was near a population center, you can expect some significant casualties.

Too bad it didn’t hit somewhere like Seattle, Portland, or San Francisco instead.

Curious if we would have had a tsunami in the gulf if it hit on the Gulf side by Veracruz.
I know tsunami is a pacific term. What’s the term for in the gulf? Storm surge seems inaccurate

In historic times, tsunami waves recorded along the Gulf Coast have all been less than 1 meter. Some of the reports are from the 1964 Gulf of Alaska earthquake recorded in Louisiana and Texas and are technically termed a seiche. A seiche is an oscillation of a body of water, typically caused by atmospheric disturbances, but in this case caused by the ground motion from the earthquake. Seiches can also occur in lakes from earthquake movements. There are a couple of early 20th-century reports of tsunami waves from Caribbean earthquakes along the Gulf Coast that are difficult to evaluate, but the wave heights all appear to be less than 1 meter.
