Definitely was a big one. Was in my office building in polanco area when it hit. Saw a cloud of dust from a building collapsing by zocolo area.

It's amazing that CP has people everywhere. Maybe we should be a news network

I hope you and your loved ones are safe. I went through 3 big earthquakes in El Salv (86 & 01) and it is the most frightening thing I have ever experienced.

This is a longer version of that building collapsing.

There are a bunch of other videos like it. They're terrifying and sad to watch.

Yes we are all okay. Thankfully live only couple blocks from work and was able to meet up with wife and kid asap. Was very frightening

Now that is an excellent point.

This dog is amazing. Apparently has already rescued 52 people in her career, including some from the earlier earthquake in Mexico.

Well, they're diminishing in size. Hopefully that's it for that region for a long time though.
