At least two people have been killed after a massive 8.2 earthquake struck off the south coast of Mexico triggering a tsunami.

The earthquake was felt across Mexico, shaking buildings in the country's capital amid reports tremors were detected as a far away as Austin, Texas - more than 1,300 miles from the epicentre.

Experts at the US geological survey say the quake, which toppled houses in Chiapas state and caused buildings to sway violently, struck at 11.49pm last night, 76 miles southwest of the town of Pijijiapan, at a depth of 43 miles.
