    You felt that? I just saw a notification on my earthquake app... 7.9!!! That's a big one!

    Holy fuck.

    That video is pretty mundane but I'd have been having 9/11 flashbacks and telling my mum I love her.

    I hope they are given the next week off in case any aftershocks pummel the building into dust.

    Yeah, I love how the mobile notification goes "Seissmic activity detected, intensity: weak" and meanwhile the counterweights on the big ass crane are going grandfather clock.

    Hey smartphone, does this look like weak to you?



    Not so smart now, are you?

    Anything above 7 is hardly weak..., but perhaps the quake was a "gentle" giant and in a more remote location that's why Mexico seemed to have suffer minimal damages? Or perhaps we don't know the full extent of the damages yet? Or perhaps you guys have been more prepared after that 8.1 in Mexico City a few years back?

    Last major earthquake in LA was only 6.7 and sections of our major freeways collapsed! So we SoCal folks can appreciate the size of your quakes!

    Can’t remember the last time we had an earthquake here. They seem cool. The small ones I mean.
