You want to argue whether it's a 4.8 or a 5.2? jeez

Richter scale is logarithmic, a 5.2 quake is about 50X stronger than a 4.8

I do well to be able to calculate the tip at a restaurant, and I can do so only because I was a waiter for several years.

#1 EARTHQUAKE RULE: If you feel an earthquake, run immediately outside. PERIOD!

Felt safe enough in our motorhome though in retrospect that big wall of the house (Jorge Alec's) behind us could present a problem!

Actually there were two

One in Petatlán and one just northeast of us in the Sierra about an hour apart. I only felt the second one.

Always interesting to see who felt these. Very often 1 person does and another person only feet away does not. We are on La Ropa- didn't feel nor hear a thing!
