The 1985 quake was commemorated, and a national earthquake drill was held, at 11 a.m. local time, just two hours before the 2017 earthquake. Twelve days earlier, the even larger 2017 Chiapas earthquake struck 650 km (400 mi) away, off the coast of the state of Chiapas. gudiel_sanchez2 https://padlet.com/gudiel_sanchez2/a530fepi8hh4/wish/340232954 2019-03-12 02:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gudiel_sanchez2/a530fepi8hh4/wish/340232954 gudiel_sanchez2 https://padlet.com/gudiel_sanchez2/a530fepi8hh4/wish/340233434 This is how buildings were damaged.]]> 2019-03-12 02:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gudiel_sanchez2/a530fepi8hh4/wish/340233434 gudiel_sanchez2 https://padlet.com/gudiel_sanchez2/a530fepi8hh4/wish/340233610 2019-03-12 02:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gudiel_sanchez2/a530fepi8hh4/wish/340233610 gudiel_sanchez2 https://padlet.com/gudiel_sanchez2/a530fepi8hh4/wish/340233892 Houses were completely destroyed and were left as ruins and families had to stay at improvised shelters.]]> 2019-03-12 02:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gudiel_sanchez2/a530fepi8hh4/wish/340233892
