It is terrible!
I remember the one there in 1985. They found a little boy in the wreckage after many days- it was a miracle he was alive. Millions of people wanted to adopt him.

Too bad. We've had quakes throughout history; some worse than others but none are good news.
California is always waiting for the BIG ONE
Hope it never comes.

Especially disastrous in such a densely populated area.

It just made me cry about the school collapsing. Thank goodness most of the children got out and they've found a couple of them in the wreckage. I think there are still close to 20 that are still in there somewhere.
There's a good article in the LA Times about the buildings in Mexico City that were built to withstand such a earthquake and what caused some to collapse so easily : http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-mexico-earthquake-california-20170920-htmlstory.html

There was just another earthquake in Mexico this morning, about a 6 if I remember right. They have had several in the last few days, probably aftershocks from the big one on Tuesday.
It seems like I also got alerts about quakes in Vanuatu, and one near Japan somewhere. Although not as severe as the one in Mexico. When you look at the earthquake map, it sure shows a lot of them all over.
