Felt in DF at 5.9 Richter, with epicenter in Puebla.

I was giving a class on the second floor, so felt it strong and long. Any other experiences?

I was on the 3rd floor of my apartment when it seemed to bounce up and down. I experienced earthquakes in Indonesia but this was by far the strongest I had experienced.

I was told that the up and down motion was not a good thing.

I was sitting in my apt on the first floor when it happened. It seemed like the building was swaying back and forth like a piece of paper. It was my first real earthquake.

Scary!

Shocked

I barely felt it. I just felt a slight movement and saw my table barely move. I had to turn on the TV to confirm it was a quake.

I've been through some real rough shakes in California. Hope things stay calm here in Mexico.
