I was IM’ing with a friend a few minutes ago when suddenly the house started swaying. I thought I was getting dizzy. I.e., OH CRAP, I THINK THE SWINE FLU FINALLY HIT ME.
Nope. It was an earthquake. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m getting the hell out of this house.
As a side note, the quake did wake up my street. It’s been deathly quiet all morning, and now people are outside talking.
Update: El Universal says the quake was centered northeast of Guerrero. Still no word on injuries/deaths/material damage. However, I am loving the comments on El Universal’s story. Two faves:
“Ay no manchen. Que sigue?? Mañana van a llover ranas.”
You’ve got to be kidding me. What’s next? Tomorrow it’s going to rain toads.
“Qué sigue?? El Popocatepetlzaso??”
What’s next? Popocatepetl’s gigantic eruption-disaster?
Off to paint now. Much more calm than earlier.
