Earthquake

Freaked the bird out.

Yep that was way harder than the last one.

Although didn't last as long.

Yes, felt that too! Felt kind of like the house lurched to one side for one second. Weird. We weren't sure what it was if you know what I mean?

We have a big long crack in the bedroom wall.

Kinda like sex....LMAO

I waited for the boom and bang, when it didn't come asked DH what he was doing out in the garage and he told me it was a quake. Big one. Off to look for cracks.

At first I thought you were referring to the cracks in the wall and thought.....he should make a video!!! Finally noticed the quote.... oh well

Ya, we were a little freaked out too. Last time our house shook like this was when a couple of gernades went off at the hacienda steak house months ago.

You need to get a cushioned headboard

LOL

That's funny, 'cause that's we thought the same thing. There was no boom though, so I'm guessing an earthquake?

Felt it in Los Arroyos Sur too. It felt like a bomb going off. Never felt anything like that, but we're from New England and don't have any like Calif.

Usually it's a little tremor and the ceiling fans and lights swing back and forth.

No cracks. Nada. Just hope the pool and pool piping is OK tomorrow.

I would like to hear from others who live away from the West Ajijic area.

Ya same with us! LOL

Short, 2 secs not a roll, but a shake. Over here off the libriemento

Short and like a wave across the terrace here in Rancho. Freaked me out a bit and I am from earthquake country. The pool water splashed around and the huge wrought iron chandelier swayed.

I think it is just a rumor. It is not in the paper yet. LOL

It is interesting nothing was swinging like it usually does, when it started I looked at the chandelier and nothing.It was like a sharp up and down movement. Unusual.

La Floresta - it sounded like a freight train coming toward the wall.

Nothing swayed here like usual. Our sliders are wide open, but didn't hear any pool water splashing. I wasn't sure what it was, so I called CBob and he told me.

4.4, 1 KM NE JOCOTOPEC. Not saying where I read this.

Now upgraded to a 4.5, 6 km north of Jocotopec. Google "servicio sismologico nacional" if you are interested in the local seismology report.
Also, "national geological survey" for worldwide data.

just a little roll and a drop but thought the noise was a big truck was coming down the street

The noise was indeed weird. Short up and down...somebody said it sounded like somebody running across the roof...maybe that was tiles going up and down? Dunno, haven't felt one like that before.
In West Ajijic below the highway (but don't tell John). :)

The house I live in is not the most well constructed. I am surprised that all the walls are still standing, even after a short fast roll like that one was.
