Earthquake in Chiapas, Mexico
Soldiers remove debris from a partially collapsed municipal building in Juchitan, Mexico, on Friday, September 8. A magnitude 8.1 earthquake was registered the night before off Mexico's southern coast. It is the strongest quake to hit the country in 100 years, according to President Enrique Pena Nieto.

President Enrique Peña Nieto said the temblor felt by about 50 million people across the country was the strongest earthquake Mexico has experienced in 100 years. In September 1985, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake killed an estimated 9,500 people in and around Mexico City. This one hit late Thursday, when many people were asleep. The states of Chiapas and Oaxaca, home to about 9 million people, are located closest to the earthquake's epicenter. They are two of the most impoverished areas in Mexico, and were likely hit the hardest.
Therefore, I think this massive earthquake shook the twitter feed so much so that it couldn't be unnoticeable. This is a very sad event that took place and it changed the lives of many people in Mexico. It is the strongest quake to hit the country in 100 years so this is definitely a big deal. Not only that but it has also been said that this earthquake might lead to a Tsunami as well. So this has to be one of the most serious issue so far.
