Mexico earthquake

The capital was hit by a quake on Monday, on the same day that it was struck by the deadly 1985 and 2017 disasters. Experts say the likelihood of this ...

In 2017, after a second deadly earthquake hit Mexico City, Mogens Bladt, a researcher at UNAM’s Department of Probability and Statistics, helped EL PAÍS determine the probability of another quake measuring 7 or more on the Richter scale affect Mexico City on the date September 19. By dividing the number of earthquakes by the number of days between 1900 and 2022, he calculated that the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude 7 or more hitting on any day in that period was 0.13386%. According to experts, the probability of an earthquake hitting the capital on the exact same day in between 0.000751% and 0.00000024%. But mathematician Luis Gonzali argued that the probability of three earthquakes hitting Mexico City on the same date was much lower. Using these assumptions, Mateos calculated the probability – one in 365 by one in 365 – equalling one in 133,335, or 0.000751%. [earthquakes occur randomly](https://english.elpais.com/usa/2021-09-09/what-were-the-flashes-of-light-seen-during-mexicos-recent-earthquake.html), they are just as likely to hit one date as another; they are independent events; and every year an earthquake measuring 7 or more on the Richter scale hits Mexico City.

Quake registered at 7.5 magnitude on anniversary of earlier tremors. Plus, the rise and fall of Peloton.

And all of this was unfolding in a venue described by former intelligence officials as [a priority target](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/07/mar-a-lago-trump-nuclear-documents-spies) for foreign spies. [including a 26% rise in new syphilis infections](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/sep/19/sexually-transmitted-disease-rise-syphilis-us) reported last year, are prompting US health officials to call for new prevention and treatment efforts. The company reported $1.2bn in losses in the second quarter of 2022. In January 2020, an Associated Press photographer cropped Nakate from a picture of youth climate activists, leaving her friend Greta Thunberg and three other white young women in the shot. Increasing numbers are complaining of sleepless nights and having to protect themselves from the deluge of harassment and humiliation tactics. From active shooter trainings to cancelled bookmobiles, librarians such as Kuhl are caught in the crossfire of a conservative censorship craze. The new prime minister conceded that Feldman said: “I understand how difficult this is, but we need to make sure we hold the correct person accountable.” Did the quake cause a lot of damage? “The 19th is a day to be feared.” An assistant state attorney Becky Feldman described details that undermined the conviction including unreliable witness testimony and a potentially biased detective. Ruling that the state violated its legal obligation to share exculpatory evidence with Syed’s defense, the circuit court judge, Melissa Phinn, ordered Syed be placed on home detention with GPS monitoring.

A 7.7 magnitude temblor with an epicenter in Michoacán rocked central Mexico at 1:05 p.m. Central Time on Monday.

In addition, Mexico City International Airport [reported some minor damage](https://twitter.com/AICM_mx/status/1571997444354834434), including broken windows and “detachment of finishings such as plaster and paint from some walls.” The largest of those was a 5.3 magnitude quake, which occurred just after 2:30 p.m. As statistically unlikely as it is, it IS a coincidence that three quakes hit Mexico on September 19 [in] the last 30 years. Monday with an epicenter 50 kilometers south of Tecomán, Colima. Central Time, less than an hour after the simulacro nacional, or [national earthquake drill](https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/nationwide-earthquake-drill-today/), began. The earth’s crust is unpredictable. An hour after the drill, a M 7.6 quake struck,” On the anniversary of Mexico City’s two mega earthquakes it just rumbled again,” However, this is a coincidence,” Cenapred said. [said in a video message](https://twitter.com/ARBedolla/status/1571960658526093313) there were “material damages,” but no lives lost in that state. Note: ‘astounding’ in a human perspective doesn’t mean anything geophysically strange is up! The drill held Monday coincidentally assumed an epicenter in Michoacán.

The quake happened just after noon at 1:05 PM local time, according to reports from the US Geological Survey (USGS). In Manzanillo, Colima, a port city, ...

There were similar earthquakes in 1985 and 2017, and they both hit on the same day, September 19th. Paul Earle, a USGS seismologist, dispelled any conspiracy theory and said that the earthquakes happening on the same day were pure coincidence. The threat area covers 200 miles from the quake's epicenter. That quake measured 8.0 on the Richter scale. This is the third time since 1985 that devastating earthquakes have shaken Mexico.

Xyoli Pérez-Campos, a researcher in the seismology department at the National Autonomous University of Mexico’s Geophysical Institute, said there was no physical reason for the coincidence of major earthquakes on a single day. On the morning of Sept. Mexico’s national Civil Defense Coordinator Laura Velázquez said Tuesday that the two deaths in Colima were due to parts of buildings collapsing.

Xyoli Pérez-Campos, a researcher in the seismology department at the National Autonomous University of Mexico’s Geophysical Institute, said there was no physical reason for the coincidence of major earthquakes on a single day. On the morning of Sept. He said a lot of his acquaintances begin to worry about an earthquake come September. Mexico’s national Civil Defense Coordinator Laura Velázquez said Tuesday that the two deaths in Colima were due to parts of buildings collapsing. 19 to commemorate the devastating 1985 temblor. More than 200 buildings were damaged, including dozens of schools and health centers, she said.

Mexico's president says material damage reported near epicentre of quake, but it is lucky death toll not higher.

Monday’s earthquake was the result of the “interaction of the Cocos plate with the North America plate”, which also caused the 1985 earthquake, Perez-Campos said. Power was out in parts of the city, however, including at stoplights, which snarled the capital’s already notorious traffic. “It was a tremor of considerable intensity,” he said. Ten people also were injured: nine in Colima and one in neighbouring Michoacan. [said](https://twitter.com/lopezobrador_/status/1571937397243514880) there was material damage near the epicentre, but that it was lucky that the death toll was not higher. Most of the damage was in the Pacific states of Colima and Michoacan, close to the Michoacan epicentre of the earthquake, which struck on the same date as two previous temblors that devastated Mexico in 1985 and 2017, respectively.
