"Global warming", "Mother Nature rebelling against Trump", yada yada...


I hope that was an abandoned building! Or not really associated with this event!

The original tweet was a controlled demo.

Unfortunately there are plenty on twitter that are real. I replaced the fake one with the one above.

At least they were speaking Spanish!

I don't think I'd take cover next to another building...

Based on the look of that building, I'm surprised it didn't collapse before now.

That's what you get when you don't have building codes.

Also Mexico City has some crazy strict building codes... 1985 created a whole lot of regulation around that. The new buildings are so engineered it is really amazing to see them to up.

Many buildings were built before codes were a thing. Take Salt Lake City for example. This place is due for a major earthquake the likes of the one in Mexico...and when it happens, it's going to kill thousands of people and destroy the majority of buildings and homes in the area.

It'll be fine because it's protected by Mormonjesus.

Yes. First plane of repatriated Mexican Laborers landed yesterday. More Mexican Laborers are being assembled and organized
At many Home Depot's along the US Mexico border and upstate New York. They will soon get their orders to ship out at any moment.

Poncho Villa returns!
