    5.9 Earthquake in Mexico City, Centered 95 miles away

     

    Today, Friday May 22 2009, we felt the second strong earthquake in Mexico City in less than one month. Unlike those in San Francisco, earthquakes in Mexico City feel like being on a ship in choppy waters. This earthquake felt significantly longer than others and gained intensity as the 15 seconds event dragged on. We left our home and went for a walk; we saw many office workers outside of their buildings however, we did not witness any damage. Our home is perfectly fine and our dogs are not phased; a friend's 3-year old son also managed to sleep thru the seismic event.  However, the general commentary through my community agree that this one felt different and stronger than others in recent memory.  Unlike the last earthquake with an epicenter in Chilpancingo (near Acapulco), today's event had an epicenter in the region of Puebla.  Specifically, the epicenter of this earthquake was 95 miles south east and the magnitude was 5.7 and the event occured at 2:24 PM.
