January 22, 2003 Subject: I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet
I wasn’t planning on sending out another update for awhile, but we wanted to let you know that we are okay after the earthquake last night.
It had a magnitude between 7.6 – 7.8 depending on the source. The coast, near Colima was hit the hardest but you could definitely feel it in Guadalajara and many other places. See below for more details.

It was such a strange feeling to have the earth truly moving below you. It took awhile for my brain to figure out what was happening. The scariest part was that it continued to shake for over a minute.
So your Spanish word of the day is “Temblor” (earthquake).
Have a good day!
Alecia
