Locust, earthquakes, pandemic, rioting in the streets... Are we just experiencing birth pains???

Prayers for those impacted by this earthquake...

A good reminder to check supplies of food, water, TP, and meds.

Water and TP, things that go quick during an emergency or looting...

Are we just experiencing birth pains???

A good friend is convinced it is the Beginning of Sorrows. He supports churches in Kenya and hears from the missionaries onsite, it's the worst they've seen in >50 years there.

Four so far, pretty minimal for a quake of that magnitude.

This would suck...

In Oaxaca, Carlos Moreno, the owner of Koch Mezcal, was working alongside one of his employees in one of his agave artisanal processing plants when the quake struck. The worker was digging up a 50-foot well to ferment the liquor when it happened.

"What a scare!," Moreno told NBC News. "The man was 15 meters below ground, with an earthquake shaking everything, in almost darkness and in a small space... . We managed to get him out fast, but what a scare."

Sady news. Here's hoping for the best to our friends in México.

(And to those who might be surprised by this event, note there are about a dozen, give or take, 7–7.9 magnitude earthquakes every year.)

One doubts whether most structures in rural Mexico are up to the latest seismic standards.
