This really hasn't been the month for North America

We had a simulation drill on the morning which woke me up and made me run like a madman outside. Then a couple of hours later this happens. All during the anniversary of the infamous quake of '85. World's crazy right now. I've packed the essentials in case we get another one. Roomate's currently confined at his faculty, they're not allowing anyone outside. My sister's still not answering or even receiving any messages but I'm confident it's because the signal is faulty. Kitty tried to claw her way out of my arms, again. I've seen pictures of buildings destroyed, one of them next to a friend's. Everyone is on edge, especially considering what this date represents to many many people. Hope nothing too bad happens.
Edit: So many buildings are down. The constant ghostly hum of distant sirens and helicopters is relentless. It feels straight out of a movie. Still no word from my sister. I'm almost sure it's because she ran out of battery. I'm hoping.
Also, news about gunpoint muggings are being spread. If true, these people are the absolute worst kind of scum. To whomever is in Mexico City right now- stay safe. Be prepared. (Alleged muggins seem to be mostly unconfirmed rumours. I got the info from a couple of friends. I thought it'd be better to be safe than sorry. Never intended to spread misinformation, totally on me).
Edit 2: Roomate's home now. Sister texted back. We're all cool. I'm immeasurably grateful that nobody close to me got hurt. I'm equally sorry for all the victims and their relatives. Everyone who lost something today. Be it a home, a brother, a friend. Nobody deserves this. I'll research how to volunteer, if anyone's got info on this I'll appreciate it.
