My kid's dad was a schoolboy sitting in a classroom when a huge earthquake hit Mexico City in 1985 - that one killed 10,000 and was exactly 32 years ago today, ironically.
Just turned on Telemundo's live coverage en espanol and watching many scenes of collapsed buildings. Apparently the quake was quite deep, though - about 30 miles down.
I've been in a few small earthquakes and even if you're unscathed, it's very unnerving, to say the least.

That's a very shallow quake. Anything less than 100 miles down qualifies as "shallow".
