Welp if you live in LA/California now is a good time to stock up on water, candles, and non-perishable food.

First the 3.6 in Westwood last night, now this.

This is what the earthquake bot on reddit said about it. It's been incredibly accurate in the past:

Hi all, earthquake perspective here.
Live Thread
What you need to know:
Magnitude: Currently sitting at a 7.1 by the USGS. This is a major earthquake for region
Depth: The depth is currently placed at 51km. Remember that this can change through further review, however typically the deeper the quake is, the softer the shaking.
Location: 5km East Northeast of Raboso, Mexico. This quake is very close to Puebla and Mexico City, making this a particularly dangerous earthquake due to the population density of the area.
Intensity of the Shaking: The USGS Shakemap currently shows Severe (VIII) shaking on the Mercalli intensity scale. This means that there is a high chance of moderate/heavy damage in and around the epicentre. Remember that as you move further away from the epicentre, the strength of the shaking decreases, however, it can still pose a risk to structures both manmade and natural.

Expected Fatalities:
Expected FatalitiesProbability (%)
1-103
11-10019
101-1k39
1k-10k30
10k-100k8
100k+1

Expected Costs of the Earthquake:
Expected Costs (USD)Probability (%)
10m-100m 16
100m-1b 36
1b-10b 32
10b-100b 11
100b+ 5
Aftershocks: I personally would expect this quake to have some large 5's, maybe small 6's as direct aftershocks, although this may not happen. The important thing to do is to Be prepared for further earthquakes in the region over the next few weeks/months.

How does one locate this earthquake bot.? Living in orange county and work in an old building..will need to call off work if it detects a big one here.

Yeah if we freaked out every time there was an earthquake we would be freaking out all the time.

Still, very alarming, I wish the best for everyone involved, shit like this is scary as hell.

Bro, who are you talkin to? I've slept through more earthquakes than you've even remembered. I said it might be a good idea to stock up, not that this is something new.

I'm born and raised in LA nobody ever takes earthquakes seriously here (including myself). It's a good idea to keep some candles, food, and water in the garage/basement/attic.

Video of building collapsing. This is fucking scary.


that looks like a demolition. you can even kind of see the explosions in the windows. (though, I suppose that could be wires sparking.) but the fact the camera doesn't shake is a pretty big tell.

Honestly, this was probably the best possible timing. The city's earthquake drills it does today likely saved a lot of lives.

It is possible that it is a controlled demolition as fake videos are always circulating during these events. However, what does the camera not shaking have to do with it?


um, the ones filming should also be experiencing a 7.1 quake, no? even if it's a mounted camera, most aren't going to stay completely stationary.

Holy crap! Getting stuck under after a collapse like that is quickly rising up my list of ultimate nightmares. I hope everyone was somehow okay.

Yeah. Some buildings in the históricas center fell down. The Towers of the Cholula Church went down.

Some universities also had infraestructure damage. Big stores like Walmart are getting robbed and also people on the streets. Traffic lights also not working so streets are a real mess.

Okay so it doesn't sound as bad as Mexico City. She's getting her masters so idk how often she's in school. I imagine there's not much power right now. I gotta convince her to come back to New York.

Some buildings still colapsing as of ~2 hours ago due to the damage.

Previous videos are real and not fake as some people suggested. As mentioned building usually fall after the earthquake due to structural damages.

Here is another video of a building partially colapsing:

I live in Portland, and I think we live on a pretty crazy fault line that will do a lot of damage

Also live close to a few active volcanoes, which I think Earthquakes help start. . .lol?

i be more worried about a tsunami doing worse damage than a earthquake.

if one were to happen where i live, everything's going to get destroyed (except for some houses that are out of the tsunami's path).
