Hurricanes are stressful as you see them coming, but at least you can prepare. Earthquakes just hit. Nothing you can do.

Such a terrible event. As Gerardo stated, you can't see it coming so you can not prepare. So sorry this happened.

It was a terrible event, but the southeast is not as populated as central Mexico. So far, over 61 people have lost their lives and damage is bad on the region. If this happened in central Mexico....let me put it this way, the '85 earthquake hit Mexico City, it was a 8.0, with fatal casualties exceeding 45,000 and inured exceeding 30,000
