MEXICO CITY (AP) — A powerful earthquake that rattled
south and central Mexico caused little apparent destruction but
rekindled fears in a population that still sees daily reminders of
deadly earthquakes five months ago.
Maricarmen Trujillo was in the same place Friday on the
eighth floor of a Mexico City office building where she rode out a Sept.
19 earthquake that killed 228 people in the capital alone.
"I relived a lot of those moments," Trujillo said, still
jittery. But this time an emergency app on her cellphone gave her a
30-second warning before things started to shake. She stayed in place,
but felt more prepared.
