Both the south of Mexico and the capital are still reeling from earthquakes that caused widespread damage in September. In Mexico City, tall buildings swayed for more than a minute as seismic alarms sounded, with older structures in the chic Condesa neighborhood knocking into each other, and some cracks appearing in plaster and paintwork. “She recognized the sound.
