Oaxaca has been hit by a series of earthquakes which is somewhat normal, but scary nonetheless. From what I can find out, there was a 6.4 one on Feb 12 and then yesterday, there were five more, the most powerful being 4.1.
There was some damage to structures in Juchitan in the Isthmo. I remember having a pretty good meal in the market there and being dazzled by the hupiles that all the women were wearing.
Earthquakes are just plain scary. If you've been in one, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you can't imagine it.
I hope everyone is OK.

Hi Chris,
Nothing to worry about. I suspect the quake you refer to occurred Feb. 12, 2008.
Best,
Jim
Gracias, Jim. That's good news. So what if I was a year off? Why not thoughtlessly spread fear and panic because of my own ignorance? ;-) You are right about this big one, but I do think there were some near Juchitan with a little damage to some of the churches and larger buildings.
