Tonight in Acapulco we had one of the best sunsets we've had in awhile and just as I sit down to share these photos with you, Rebel starts freaking out for no reason. John and I spent a bit discussing why he was acting the way he was when the earth started to rumble and I cut him off with "It's an earthquake, and it's still happening."
The rain had just started and I thought it was thunder at first but as the ground kept rumbling it was clear it was a quake. I think it even temporarily stopped before starting again. It was long enough for me to post "acapulco has been quaking for like a minute now, literally still quaking" without lying about it. It's by far the longest one we've experienced here.
John immediately started looking into it and found it was a 8.0 earthquake 395 miles from here off the coast of Chiapas, which is now at risk for tsunami. Oaxaca, the neighboring state experienced a lot of shaking and possible damage too.
To put it in perspective there are less than 100 magnitude 8.0 earthquakes or above recorded in the last 100 years. I wish the best for the people living on the coast of Chiapas and Oaxaca.
There's a tsunami warning now, crazy stuff! [Here's] the wikipedia page already posted on the event.
