ibarra Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 We live in Brisas de Chapala and a few minutes ago experienced about 8 seconds of an earthquake tremor. I confirmed this with neighbors before writing this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiapippy Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I’m in Jocotepec and felt it at 8:27 this morning. I tend to be very sensitive to feeling earthquakes after living in California for more than 36 years in Silicon Valley. I get nauseated every time I feel one after experiencing the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floradude Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have lived here 15 years this May and I have yet to feel one of our earthquakes. I am from Seattle so I am used to earthquakes. My house must be built on some strange material. Someday maybe I can say 'I felt it.' I should add that I live in Upper Ajijic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add that I live in Upper Ajijic Wow, Floradude, you must have missed the 2003 Colima earthquake (7.6) by just a blink. I was living in the village at the time and it was quite strong even in Ajijic. Visitors from Michigan were staying in my casita; as the quake shook, rattled, and rolled I glanced across my patio and saw them with their wide-eyed faces plastered against the glass door. "Is this what we think it is, an EARTHQUAKE?" they shouted. We all went out into the street and stood around looking at one another and commiserating with the neighbors for a few minutes. They'd never experienced a quake, so they had an excitement-in-Mexico story to tell when they got back home. That was actually a very bad earthquake for Colima, where between 25 and 30 people died, many more were injured, many were left homeless, and there was much destruction of property. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Colima_earthquake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yes, More Liana, I remember that one too! I was in a restaurant and the chandelier was swinging wildly. We were sitting next to a large plate glass mirror and decided to get outside. The young waitress was going bananas. I think that one was a 'swaying' kind rather than a 'rumbling' kind.....

AngusMactavish Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I was just told that Instituto Internacional was evacuated in response to the earthquake. The book racks in the library were swaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
