How have you dealt with the earthquake

Mexico city was 8.2 I slept through it.  My dog was barking very loud according to my wife.
The night before we had extreme rain fall main roads in the low area looking like the Amazon river.

But you are ok and that is the important part, now just get ready for Katia when she gets done with Veracruz. There will likely be a lot more water. Stay safe.

Even though the epicenter was in the Pacific Ocean, we felt it in the Veracruz hills. A full minute of gentle rocking woke me about midnight, A friend called from Xalapa, and my current house guest came in to talk for a while. It was some time before I got back to sleep, but no harm done. I'm a bit more anxious about the hurricane scheduled for the weekend, even though I live in an area with spectacular drainage (there's a ravine a two blocks away) I'm not so sure what a high wind will do. Right now it's raining, and has been for at least 24 hours.

Yeah, that will be a big issue with katia, she is carrying a lot of water. I'm glad you are safe Babs, make sure you are well stocked and have good flashlights, because as you know it is not over yet. Thanks for checking in.
