¡Temblor!

From my perspective, nowhere near as intense. The one on Good Friday really shook me- for the rest of the day my insides felt like they had been shaken. And I actually SAW the building across the pool from me moving, and I SAW the roof tiles bump their way off the palapa and into the pool and onto the sidewalk. I thought it was strange that I didn't HEAR anything falling and breaking, including all the things within my condo that fell and broke-like glasses, ornaments, candle holders. I get the sound of the tremblor itself far outdid all the crashing THINGS. Some peoples' TV's (large flat screens) were thrown off the entertainment units...fridges fell over or made their way into living rooms. That was then. Yesterday, it felt like a gentle rocking- no shock to it. What worried me was that it seemed to go on for so long (about 35 seconds. Good Friday's one was 40 seconds). Normally our tremblors last about 3-7 seconds. Also, yesterday- nothing fell- nothing broke.
These were 2 totally different events. Both scary. As Lady M says- we have had enough.
