Earthquake Rocks Mexico's West Coast

>> I CAN HEAR YOU. >> HEY, FILL US IN. GIVE US THE HEADLINE. >> SO I ACTUALLY JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MEXICO, AND IN FACT, I HAVE FAMILY WHERE THE EARTHQUAKE TOOK PLACE, SO THE NUMBERS WE’RE GETTING, AND THERE HAS BEEN SOME REPORTS 7.4, 7.5, AND ANOTHER REPORT OF A 7.6, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE PRESIDENT JUST SPOKE, AND SAID THAT AS OF NOW, THEY ONLY HAVE DAMAGE TO SOME STRUCTURES. THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN THE STRUCTURES IN THE AREA, SO LET’S START WITH THIS. THE EARTHQUAKE

HAPPENED IN THE STATE ON THE WEST COAST OF MEXICO FELT AS FAR AS MEXICO CITY AND FELT IN GOD LAUADALAJAR THE EARTHQUAKE IS VERY LONG AND IN FACT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MINUTE LONG OR IT FELT LIKE A MINUTE LONG FOR SOME OF THE PEOPLE I SPOKE. WITH AS OF NOW, THEY’RE STILL ASSESSING THE DAMAGES, AND THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, ONCE AGAIN, THIS WAS IN THE STATE OF MEXICO, AND TODAY THEY HAD AN EARTHQUAKE DRILL, JUST BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE ACTUALLY HAPPENED SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE CHAOS THAT TOOK PLACE IN MEXICO AFTER PEOPLE HAD

PREPARED FOR THAT EARTHQUAKE DRILL, AND WENT BACK INSIDE, AND THEN AN ACTUAL EARTHQUAKE DID TAKE PLACE, IN MEXICO. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE EARTHQUAKES TAKE PLACE IN MEXICO CITY, OF

COURSE, A FEW YEARS AGO, WE KNOW THAT THERE WAS A DEADLY RESULT IN MEXICO. AS OF NOW, THEY’RE STILL ASSESSING THE DAMAGES. ONCE AGAIN, THE EPICENTER WAS IN THE STATE OF MICHOACAN. THERE ARE SOME REPORTS OF A CITY REPORT THAT IS VISITED BY A LOT OF CANADIAN AND AMERICAN SOURCES AND THIS IS A CITY WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REPORTS OF DAMAGE

THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. WE’RE STILL WAITING FOR MORE INFORMATION. AS OF NOW, THE PRESIDENT SAID THAT AUTHORITIES ARE LOOKING AROUND, BUT THEY DON’T HAVE ANY REPORTS OF MORE THAN PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES. >> AND OF COURSE, SEPTEMBER 189 19th, A DAY THAT MEXICANS THINK ABOUT WHEN THEY THINK ABOUT MAJOR EARTHQUAKES AND TWO SERIOUS EARTHQUAKES THAT HIT ON THAT DAY IN MEXICO.
