Earthquake hits Guanajuato State

One thing that has always come to my mind while peering down into the "punch bowl" of the amphitheater of GTO is, what kind of massive devastation would result from an earthquake here. If you look at the construction, most of it is from 3 to 4 stories of simply one brick cemented on top of another, no rebar, no bracing, no nothing. Can you imagine what might happen? I would imagine all the buildings around the perimeter would fold and all go rolling like a land-slide into the city center where they would crush all the buildings there. It could be the largest disaster to hit this area in centuries.

Anyway, not to panic anyone but certainly food for thought......
