So, we had a big earthquake (M8.2) in Mexico last Thursday. Fortunately for me and my family, it was just the huge scare and there was no big damage left in Central Mexico. Yet, the southeast of the country was devastated. At least 150 municipalities were affected and, since there are no major cities hit, news and people are downplaying it as if nothing had happened. Certainly, there are "only" 100 people dead (as compared with the thousands of deaths that caused a similar earthquake in 1985), but there are plenty of people who lost their homes and who were already poor; they need so much help. :(
