[californiadisasters] M7.1 PUEBLA, MEXICO 18.6 -98.4 (3818c)



On the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake, a new devastating earthquake has struck Mexico City. With CCTV & cell phones there is already a wealth of footage of the quake happening and/or of its immediate aftermath which includes at least two of a separate large building collapses as they happen. Five deaths reported so far but that is a low number of course. I'm sure Urban Search & Rescue Teams from California will be sent there I'm sure.
