September 19, 2017

Earthquake, 5.4 in Chiapas and 4.9 in Oaxaca today.

Our house shook pretty hard today.  That was a bit frightening.

Lots of damage in Cuernavaca.  It's chaos here.  We're in Cuernavaca but we're trying to get to a class in Tepoztlan, a little north of us.  Apparently downtown Cuernavaca buildings are damaged and everyone is trying to get out of there.  People everywhere on the streets.  I think they're afraid of their rickety houses.

We were told that an overpass on the freeway near us that was under construction partially collapsed, freeway south is closed.

Later that night:

We had a class tonight in a nearby town which took us 2.5 hours to get to!  The roads in the direction of the town were fine but when we got there the power was still out and so we turned around and came home.
