so we were both at home
about 15 minutes ago 20 minutes ago when
everything started to shake now I
noticed it before I did
but yeah tell us what happened and what
you first felt and I felt yeah my chair
was a little like moving slowly but I
had that many many times but it was like
a little bit harder than before so I
looked around and the door was moving
like this and then we went
there's like a door in our place that
allows us to go to the rooftop and
that's the safest way to get outside
during an earthquake so we were like
struggling to get the key to the door to
open to get us to the rooftop and
everything was just shaking like I've
never felt in my life
because the way our apartment works were
on the top floor so we're close to the
rooftop and in case of emergency we've
always been told that we need to get to
the rooftop if there's an earthquake
next to us there is a cute parking lot
yeah talking about building and there
are many people extending and like okay
this is okay hey I'm never gonna forget
that feeling when we look down at the
street and like it it's hard to remember
but it seemed like people were riding
outside everyone was looking up at the
buildings the tall buildings next to us
the building like in front of us yeah I
sold a derelict fly in there courteously
yeah shaky so I don't I don't know it
was like it was terrifying
so we went out to roof talk for about
two minutes and after that we thought it
was time to get out of the building so
we ran down the steps and there were so
many people outside it was kind of crazy
like police helicopters over top police
sirens going off
and then I was gonna go text I was gonna
go text my roommate to tell him about
the earthquake so I had my phone out and
then someone bumped into me in
completely broke my cellphone so that
was like one second earthquake we're
running the rooftop next second we're
running down the steps finally feel like
things are safe and we're out of it and
then boom my phone breaks yeah he pretty
yeah it was a tough day it was a tough
day at that point like I was pissed off
the adrenaline was still going from the
earthquake we were both pretty shaken up
about what we felt so we decided we're
not going back to the apartment we don't
feel safe there at the moment so we're
gonna go to a coffee shop just so we
could get some Wi-Fi just so we could
figure out like yeah yeah like where's
the earthquake what happened are people
okay how's the city doing because we had
no idea so we went to Starbucks that's
where we found out that it was a 7.2
and we are here so this is how far away
we were and we felt it shaking for at
least at least 30 seconds our thoughts
and prayers are with anyone in the south
of Mexico right now I don't want to
thank you say things are ok but I
haven't heard of any deaths immediately
related to the earthquake which is a
great thing and I hope it stays that way
but of course it'd be terrifying to be
down there so my thoughts are with
anyone who's from that region so yeah we
went there and we were just checking the
news seeing what was happening and then
what happened
the blind next to me he started to shake
okay big pieces yeah I looked around and
everyone was there looking at a display
it felt okay let's go I felt absolutely
nothing I the worst person to be with an
earthquake because I was just working
like not paying attention at all so we
went to Starbucks to chill out after the
earthquake and it's starting to shake
again so everyone just ran out to the
street crazy stuff
I was like okay then didn't even put my
laptop in my backpack just under my arm
just running outside base oh and I don't
think we were running it was pretty we
were just quickly walking everyone just
quickly walked to the street and then it
was really funny because we got
completely evacuated but across the
street there was this bar and where
everyone was drinking as normal they
were just they didn't care they the
music was blasting and they were just
partying we might be there yeah like
behind it and yeah actually to me every
on the yeah let's calm
yeah really calm and I guess like you'll
never forget your first one and if most
people here I've been through it before
especially the big one in September they
kind of know what to do by now yeah for
us it showed me that thankfully we did
know to go to the rooftop but I don't
know I didn't feel completely prepared
like I didn't know exactly what to do so
that was kind of a wake-up call for me
that we need to yeah always know what to
do always know what the plan is because
when it's actually happening you can't
think you just go into like animal mode
we forgot to tell him about the sirens
yes yeah okay so so you know you know
how there's like there's like a
earthquake siren that's supposed to go
off it did go off but the problem is we
live next to a busy street
we literally hear police sirens every
single night and know like not even good
nights during their during the day like
every single five minutes yeah we've had
to very quickly get used to kind of
drowning out the noise of sirens and
just ignoring it because it's the only
way that we can sleep at night so I
guess there were the emergency
earthquake sirens but I certainly didn't
hear anything with my headphones on
naari you might have heard it and just
thought it was just police right yeah
Hertz siren sound I know it's different
yeah oh yeah at that time I felt is the
same
I want to tell one more story before we
go you guys don't know this about her
but this is how tough Inari is so hey
when we first met like when we were
first dating or even before that we were
in Vietnam and we were motor biking
through Vietnam and at first I had a
motorbike and I would ride it and now I
would be on the back but as I remember
you really wanted your own bike yes so
yeah no it was a tough girl she wanted
to learn so I kind of taught her a bit
on my motorbike then we got her her own
bike and she seemed confident she seemed
ready to do it so we both had a
motorbike we were leaving the rental
place and looked behind me and now he
looks fine she was taking the first
corner everything looked good then
another five seconds I looked back again
and then boom wobble wobble wobble boom
now I was down and I know I'm laughing
now because I know how it ends but that
was one of the scariest moments of my
life because when I turned around and
went back now I was bleeding from the
eye basically the eyebrow right yeah
like glide all the way down here and I
couldn't see I would be still like oh
thanks like Jo my ID so I was scared
okay and do you want to show them your
elbow did to show you how intense the ax
it was that's from two years ago almost
right yeah about two years ago so it was
a serious fall and that was a very scary
moment for both of us and we both really
didn't know what to do but you know what
like a few days later you were back on
that bike and now you love motorbikes
now you want to get one in Mexico right
okay well you love motorbikes is the
point yeah yeah I do I did think I could
drive here yeah I did Mexican drivers
are a bit crazy the reason I bring up
that story is that yeah I feel I feel
like we both just went through was scare
that was kind of like that we both
didn't know what to do we both felt you
know it's a very uncomfortable situation
but
now I feel like it's time to get back on
the bike and just keep moving forward
you know what I mean
so for anyone else who's feeling
frightened or went through some tough
times with this earthquake or any other
earthquake I just hope that yeah you're
able to get back on that bike and keep
looking forward
does that make sense yes okay guys so
that's our earthquake experience my
phone is broken again yay but you know
what we have our health and things could
always be worse so don't get your fun
what's the bus view yeah fine
yeah
that's it bye guys
