I'm back in Mexico and we just had a 7.1 magnitude earthquake. The house began shaking really hard so we went outside. We have a 9 foot wall around our house and it was shaking so hard I thought it would fall. The telephone pole was wagging back and forth pretty good too. We were just in Mexico City yesterday and it got hit pretty good.

Good to hear you made it through the quake safely. Hope all is going well for you now. This will be very hard for the people that are poor and lose what little they have. I sure wish their gov't situation would improve and not be so crooked.

I think the intensity of the sound was what scared me most!
I won't even visit places like California for fear of reliving that experience!

From the videos it looks so awful.
