Rob, I think you’ve been in Zihua 30+ years.
Do you remember the strongest heathquake you got ?
Thanks!

Yes, it was Viernes Santo of 2014 and I was on my azotea. The first strong quick jolt threw me off my feet, and it kept coming like a roaring freight train, and I thought for sure the stairwell had collapsed, but it didn't and I ran down the stairs and out the door most grateful to be alive. Scariest moment of my life.

And the indicators that time and others with big shakes were several small tremors of at least 4.0 in previous days.
