Long earthquakes cause lots of damage. Looks like this one was right around a minute long.
Second quake in a month in less that two weeks. One a 8.1 and the other 7.1. Prayers for the people. Stay safe and away from fractured buildings.
This is bad. It’s a 7.1 near Puebla, which is a major population center. There will be hundreds, if not thousands of deaths. It looks like a lot of buildings collapsed.
That looked terrifying to this Angeleno.
Nightmarish.
Crazy video. Is the International Red Cross a good organization to help relief efforts or are the better ones that people could recommend?
I just want to say, when we have hurricanes, earthquakes, etc here in our country, can we PLEASE DROP THE COMMENTS ABOUT HOW OUR WONDERFUL CITIZENS STEP UP TO HELP LIKE NO OTHERS DO?
Mexico, China, Chile, Japan, Australia, England, France, Germany, and on, and on, and on…run to help those who are victims of natural and man-made disasters. We are no better than, and in fact, worse than most.
American Exceptionism is dead.
My brother was in an earthquake in Mexico City, a few years before the big one. It was strong enough that it tossed him out of bed. He thought it was the tequila, but then he saw the ceiling lamp swinging and heard glass breaking.
