On Friday Shari and Hannah had just left for the women’s conference in Jes\u00c3\u00bas Mar\u00c3\u00ada when the 7.2 magnitude quake was felt here in Ixtapaluca. It was certainly a good shake, lasting around 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, no new damage in our house that we can see, although it did cause one or two temporary leaks in our bathroom.<\/p>\n

Then the power went out for a couple of hours, along with cell phone service.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, as far as we know no one was killed in the quake, although more homes in the state of Oaxaca (where the epicentre was) were damaged.<\/p>\n

About an hour later, an aftershock hit, just slightly felt where we live.<\/p>\n

Just before 1am this morning, we felt another aftershock, this one magnitude 5.9.
