We had another quake about 20 minutes ago.
The epicenter continues to be in the state of Guerrero, and this one has been considered violent.
The alarms went off on my phone, and iPad, thank the good Lord. Then, we noticed the wind chimes in our bedroom were swaying. (Yes, we put them there exactly for this reason, and long before I had the app.)
Jesús, and his family, got out before we even woke up. We had taken some Benadryl, hoping to get to sleep before sunrise, however, just as I was falling to sleep, the alarm started.
I staggered to my phone, shut off the alarm on it, then on the iPad as well. While I was walking/staggering to the kitchen, I could feel the floor moving under my feet. It feels as if one has had about 8 shots of some horribly powerful alcohol, drank within a 15 minute binge. (I assume as much, as I never drink like that.)
When I was able to get back to the bedroom, grab my phone, and get back to the kitchen, the chimes were banging against the closed door, making quite the racket.
Here are the last few seconds of the wind chimes in the laundry area, just at the end of the swaying. Notice the rug as well. It’s only 19 seconds.
Of course, we went outside, though not everyone did.
We are back in our apartment; the Garcia’s as well, and are trying to relax enough to go to sleep. Another 5am bedtime, if I had my guess. One of these days, we’ll be back on a better schedule.
Oh, we are fine; no damage to our building, or our possessions. It’s really mental stress, fortunately for all of us in the building. Evidently this building was given top marks for its ability to withstand the effects of most earthquakes. Good to know.
Stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash, cover, and protect yourselves.
