Just updating.
 
I got a text from my direct report in Guadalajara that started, "We are okay after earthquake ..." I just about fell out of my chair.

However rest of the text read " ... in Mexico City," which is still bad but was a relief.
 
Last story I saw had 101 dead. Horrible tragedy, it has been a terrible month for natural disasters.

Indeed, it is a tragic event.
