The speed of these alerts is impressive, but I wonder if the immediate tsunami warnings end up causing more chaos through panic than they prevent in actual safety? It’s a tough balance between caution and avoiding mass hysteria when every second counts.

It’s always so unsettling when these warnings pop up. I remember my grandmother talking about how the sea just disappears before a wave hits—it makes me want to move far inland. I hope everyone in Chiapas is staying safe and getting out of the danger zones quickly. Stay strong, Mexico.

Absolutely gutting to see those images from Puerto Madero. A 7.4 is no joke and that tsunami warning has everyone on edge. Hope everyone is getting to safety quickly. Do any of you have mates or family down in Chiapas we should be checking in on?
