Thanks for asking, my wife and daughters are OK, I was in panic as one was not reporting ans she was in one of the more affected zones, but she was in class in College so when they moved she forgot the cell phone and it took a long time to return, so I was in panic.

BTW… We had one stronger the other day but with the epicenter in the Pacific Ocean; that one was 8.1 and today’s was 7.1 but with the epicenter really close from the city.

So in short I felt this one worst

Glad you and the family are ok Voodoo! Massive earthquakes, can't even imagine, we had a much smaller one in 1999 and I still remember the terror. Hope the casualties don't increase. Hang in there!

Damn, living in California. I've felt plenty of shakers in my time. None this big. When I heard about this I immediately thought about Voodoo and his family. So happy to hear they're all safe. Thought's and prayer's for Mexico and the caribbean. Hurricanes and earthquakes. Mother nature is pissed. Best wishes everybody.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your words.

To be honest it was terrible.

I was in one of our plants in the north-north of the metropolitan area of Mexico City; I was thinking it was another earthquake without any consequence but when going home it was a terrible experience, lots of streets closed and buildings with barricades near mine, my street with three blocks closed, a building just three blocks from home collapsed and many more in less than 12 blocks collapsed too.

So glad you and your fam are all OK...

Voodoo, mi amigo---lo siento mucho...
that you had to go through this, right in your neighborhood!

Joining others in gratitude that you, your family, and house are okay.  That was quite a scare!  Hugs!

THANKS A LOT!!!

I really appreciate your words, we had another one today, it was a replica of the first (the one that was 8.1 with epicenter in the Pacific Ocean) so it’s possible that soon we will have another replica from the one we had last Tuesday… I live in the Roma Condesa area, one of the most affected zones but in a safe area that was not affected neither in 1985 nor now.

BTW… The glimmer gatherings last year were precisely in the Roma-Condesa area for several days.

This is an interesting article that Paul (who stayed at my home last year) sent me, check it out

God bless all the people of Mexico and the Caribbean who have had to survive under so much this year, and rebuild.
