It looks like our earthquake was 6.2 on the Richter scale with an epicenter 40 miles northwest of Acapulco. It's being mentioned as "strong" in the news and having lasted around a minute. I'm still on the balcony, thank God for Wi-Fi, looking for signs of a possible tsunami wave or more aftershocks.
It's right now 2.30 am local time and the children are sleeping. Things are returning to normal. Everything is ready for a speedy departure should something dramatic happen.
Hey man, I hope nothing more serious happens.
I’ve never experienced an actual earthquake, other than a few tremors from neighbouring Indonesia (I felt the post-tsunami tremor a couple of days after) which caused just slight swaying of our apartment building. Even then I was slightly freaked.
Take care, ya?
I haven’t commented lately, but I’ve been following the stories of your trip. Glad to hear all is well so far after the quake.
I hope and pray nothing happens. Though we live by coastal area and the tsunami affected our part terribly in 2004, thank god our family was not around by then. But I remember having nightmares about the safety of our kids long after things calmed down.
