As for damage, as Swervo said, it was in central Mexico, and people in Mexico city were hit hardest. It's an odd quake, because it didn't originate at either the plate's rifts or the subduction zone, so its violence was unexpected.
acket.
It was a deep Intraplate earthquake. File under: rare and devastating

Fuck earthquakes, still have flashbacks when hearing a truck thunder past, as its a similar sound just before a quake hits.
Was there just another one this morning?
Fucking hell
Adjustments.
Whoomah!
ugh...
Once past 4,000 aftershocks it gets annoying.

The mysterious brigades at Alvaro Obregon 286
In a few minutes, more than three thousand kilometers from the epicenter of the emergency in Mexico City, a minister and two foreign ministers agreed that 122 specialists, including rescuers and engineers, would travel to Mexican territory. What seemed like sending international aid to the disaster, in fact hid an urgent mission: rescue two targets listed as top priority.They came quietly. No one prevented them from crossing the security lines in the direction of the remains of the collapsed building. Marinos, federal and Mexico City police officers opened the way to the mission led by Colonel Dudi Mizrahi, a civilian communications expert recruited by the IDF specifically to command it.As the data were confirmed against the architectural memory of the building, Kabitke transmitted the information to the members of the Israeli team that would execute the rescue of the target by which they had arrived at Mexico. US rescuers supported them so that it was the Israeli team that coordinated the rescue operations, thereby displacing Mexicans, Spaniards, Colombians and Koreans, who were ordered to carry rubble.The Israel team never said that they were looking for a specific person, simply that they were helping in the rescue tasks, but in reality they were only interested in one person, and it was a woman who was on the 2nd floor, in the offices of Valora Consultores , in one of the points of greater complexity, because it remained trapped under a concrete block. Neither the shabbath , the Jewish holy day nor the celebration of the Rosh Hashanah , the Jewish New Year, which coincided with this date, stopped the work.The protocol launched 36 hours earlier already had the first 17 elements of the Emergency Military Unit (UME) on Mexican soil as advanced to recognize the terrain of the tragedy and plan the rescues. On 22 September, on board an Airbus of the Spanish Army would arrive at the capital of the country another 37 staff.That article needs to be picked up by English-language media."The first impression was that maybe the Attorney General came to do the survey, the photographs, but no. Everything was done by agreement with the Spaniards, because they wanted to remove all the bodies, because apparently they were not only looking for this body (Gómez Varo's), but strange documentation that he had with him", said Jorge Enrique Gómez Zamarripa, ex-husband of one of the victims of the second floor.
acket.
WTF?
