Possible 12ft Tsunami about to arrive in Salina Cruz triggered by offshore quake. Hope everyone there is moving to higher ground and stays safe. 1am local time, scary shite!

Not much here, we're a long ways from there on a different fault line. Salina Cruz refinery closed. The Angel of Independence in the DF was swaying (I lived a couple of blocks from there in the early 90's) so I expect that my old neighborhood went batshit.

Probably mostly just transformers blowing.

Or regular lightning.

Or piezoelectrict discharge?

I can't rule out piezoelectric discharge, but don't think it trumps transformers or regular lightning. Be interesting to see more science on the subject, but that is just me.

I went through several earthquakes when I lived up there but never saw the green flash. I did see a tortilla with the image of Jesus at a taco stand in front of the Basílica de Guadalupe.
