City-shaking earthquake in Mexico City, find the funniest memes to soothe the post-5.9 tremor fear
On August 2, 2025, a significant earthquake of magnitude 5.9 hit the region near Tlacolula, Oaxaca, Mexico. The epicenter was approximately 13 kilometers east of Tlacolula, at a shallow depth of around 10 kilometers.
The quake was felt strongly in Oaxaca and was also perceived in Mexico City and neighboring Guatemala [1][2][4]. The event caused some structural impacts, including landslides in mountainous zones near Tlacolula, and at least one injury was reported. However, no fatalities or major widespread damage were confirmed by authorities [1][2][3][4].
The National Seismological Service (SSN) announced the earthquake via platform X. The shaking triggered seismic alarms in Oaxaca, and local police implemented safety measures, including road closures where landslides occurred, especially on the Cerro del Fortín road [1][2][3][4].
The public response was swift, with a segment of the population always mindful of earthquakes. Some internet users were in the midst of their break when the tremor began, while others joked about the month of September. A segment of the public started sending bolillos, a type of Mexican bread, for the scare [5].
Meanwhile, in unrelated news, Tom Holland's new trailer for Spider-Man 4 was released, though the release date was not specified in the paragraph [6]. There were no specific details about a viral video of a man blocking entry to the Italian metro or a man being bitten on the streets of CDMX [7][8].
No further information about MrBeast, Alexis Omman, or their fundraising efforts for drinking water was provided in this context [9]. However, it is well-known that some internet users use social media for self-information, providing updates and sharing experiences during times of crisis.
