Oh I hate to hear this. I know some American missionaries serving in Oaxaca and their ministries are bearing fruit. Mexicans have been saved and churches are being established. One of those missionaries spoke in my church three weeks ago. My daughter regularly communicates with two Mexican Christians in Oaxaca.

Seems the earth is moving in many places around the world.

Have a look at:

Then, go to SETTINGS, set the time for "past 7 days +2.5 Magnitude +US", zoom out so you get the rest of the Pacific action and......

You may just be understating the situation.

I had the same thought, because drug cartel leaders do not live or hang out where their product is made and distributed.

Where is the media personalities suggesting this is G-d or nature’s “revenge” of some sort on Mexico? Oh, I forgot, unlike Texas and Florida they did not vote for Trump, so the media is not aligned against them. Not sarcasm, just truth.

There are earthquakes all over the world everyday. Everywhere.

[FreedomStar3028]

This is an aftershock to the sept 19th quake.

Aftershocks don’t have to be centered on the same region.

[hoosiermama]

LOTs of shaking going on.....

[reasonisfaith]

Of exponentially increasing frequency.

Akin to what I wanted to post (although, not expressed so poetically). Are there more than the usual amount of earthquakes occurring? Well, it’s September 23 - a few more hours. Duh duh duh!

BOOKMARK!

That could be, as well. At any rate, I don’t think the quakes are over. They all are on the Pacific Plate. Not good.

FWIW, I’d worry if areas that are normally seismically active get real quiet. :-)
