Tremors

Sorry, moms, but this is interesting. By my very unscientific method, Oaxaca may be due for an earthquake. According to Lonely Planet Mexico, Oaxaca City was leveled by a large earthquake in 1854. The city was rebuilt and maintained its status as the largest and most active city in the state. Another earthquake hit in 1931, destroying 70% of the buildings and infrastructure. 1854 to 1931 is a span of 77 years. And 1931 to 2007 . . . is actually only 76 years. So we should be alright, right?

UPDATE: Oaxaca got walloped on September 30, 1999. So it shouldn't be an issue. Carry on.
