Mexico City endured some devastating earthquakes during the last decade. The first one happened in April 2013, buildings shook, and people were scared. The next one happened in September of 2017 when many buildings in the city were destroyed. Finally, just a couple of days later, another earthquake struck Mexico City. This was a long one with buildings swaying back and forth, destruction, and explosions.
