Re: Cancun challenge
This tequila story is a bit long but worth telling.
My girl and I were in Mexico City this past spring at the rooftop bar of the Codessa df.
I saw that they had a bottle of Cuervo Reserva de la Familia which runs about 250 a bottle in NYC. I’d never had it so I ordered one up and asked the bartender to leave the bottle on the bar so I could take a picture of it for my extensive collection. Shortly after he does this the whole building starts to sway back and forth. We are on the roof of a very old building in a 7.5 earthquake.
Both bartenders and the guys with us at the bar are gone and down the stairs in like two seconds and the bar manager is walking around barking in Spanish. Mas cerveza por favor and donde el bano is the full extent of my Spanish so I have no clue that he is ordering everyone to move to the far end of the roof where it is safer. My girlfriend speaks fluent Spanish so she, and literally everyone on the roof except me moves to the far side.
So now I’m sitting at the bar alone with about 50 people watching me. The building is still swaying. I calmly poured myself a fresh tequila from the bottle, toasted the onlookers..... and have lived to tell the story.
When we walked back to our Air BnB every TV reporter was on our block as an old building a few doors down had toppled. We had no power. I had a nice buzz.

Re: Cancun challenge
I've been in a 6.0 buzzed in Acapulco a few years back. Was on the 6th floor of a smaller Hotel curtains were swaying I really wasn't afraid until I walked out into the lobby area up there and saw the looks on all the locals faces - I took the stairs quick. Most of the people that had came in from Mexico City left early that weekend.sadderbudweiser wrote:This tequila story is a bit long but worth telling.

The 4.0 we had back in 2015 right here in good old Texas surprised the Dickens out of me

I knew immediately what it was and I knew it was A 4
