Was huge. I believe California is also overdue for a good whack.

What?? When was the last whack in California?

And Mexico City is quite far off California and Texas, no?

Almost two hundred years ago.
Southern California could be overdue for a major earthquake along the Grapevine north of Los Angeles, according to a sobering new study by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The research found earthquakes happen there on average every 100 years. The last major temblor occurred 160 years ago, a catastrophic geological event that ruptured an astonishing 185 miles of the San Andreas fault.
The land on either side of the fault has been pushing against the other at a rate of more than 1 inch a year since 1857, the researchers said, accumulating energy that will be suddenly released in a major earthquake, when the land along the fault would move by many feet.
“So you expect that amount of accumulation of energy will be released in the future in a large-magnitude rupture, somewhere along the San Andreas,” said the lead author of the study, USGS research geologist Kate Scharer.

Mexico city is quite some distance from California but not sure if they sit on the same tectonic plates. Mexico city is densely populated, population around 25 millions souls but very clean, good infrastructure, good public transportation. you have to take a walk down zocalo to la roma, visit historic museums (I would recommend palacio de artes, mainly exbit Picasso and diego Riviera work) and ancient cathedral to appreciate this city. Nairobi city should borrow a leaf from mexico city.
And Mexico City is quite far off California and Texas, no?

Sounds very nice. I should seriously consider it for a vacation, however after this quake is it so good?

What I find concerning is the warning system. Hurricanes you have weeks to prepare but earthquake you have minutes..............you will fall in love with mexico. the people, the culture and food just amazing but I would advice if possible stay off the tourist circuit ..yeah cancun is beautiful with amazing resorts but its more or less like Florida I would suggest Acapulco for some reasons there are fewer and fewer tourist so your dollar will go far, everything in peso down in Acapulco unlike cancun where everything is in dollars.....Acapulco is only 4 hrs drive from mexico city, the roads are nyweee just like states except they are toll roads......

Guadarajara is very beautiful too, very historic city with all a lot of historic site, of all towns in Mexico this is one place that's very easy to find people that speak or understand English mainly because a lot of America companies have set their base there.... last time I found it much easier to tour the city using the tour bus. You can pick the tour bus from the mayoral city center. visit tequila distilleries and other tourist spots, the beauty of tour bus you can chuck at any designated spot stroll for a while then pick the next bus....now I must say its important you polish up on Spanish or if you will drive around Mexico atleast know the road signs in Spanish "tope" means bump make sure you do not find that out after flying into a ditch like I did....from Guadalajara make sure you drive down to Puerto Vallarta, 6- 7 hrs drive on the hwy, the road is nyweeeeee but carry enough peso for toll roads....fresh food and fruits stalls garole, mango masala, mahindi masala all for pocket change...........

Negro can't help himself
He's a psychopath.
There's so much mutilation of the original clip that I'm sure it was pure shiet. Will get the original.

one more thing....rental car very affordable, ranges from 1 USD to 10 USD but you have to get insurance which can be steep.If you are planning to use a credit card for car rental check with the credit card company to see what they cover and what they do not. also obtain a letter confirming the same to show to car rental in Mexico.
