My wife was supposed to fly to Mexico City on Thursday for a 3 day conference, but she cancelled because a case in Hong Kong hotted up suddenly. Then the Hong Kong case settled, but it was too late to go to Mexico City. So I am pretty happy about that chain of events.

I was in Mexico City shortly after the earthquake in the early 80's (?) and I remember seeing a building still leaning against a building next to it. When I went back several years later it was still there.

Earthquakes are weird because unlike weather events they shake our most familiar stable point - the earth. Low ground, high ground, inside, outside - everything moves.

I hope as many people as possible have survived this quake and will be able to rebuild their lives. Mexico was one of the first to offer assistance to the Houston area after Hurricane Harvey. I hope we can be as generous.

1985, I was in boot camp and I've got family in Mexico City (DF). Everyone was ok but their business was damaged. Just a risky place to be for many reasons but I loved every visit.
