Mexico City and Puebla were given a shaking this afternoon by a brief but strong earthquake, sending many people (including us here in The Times’ Mexico City Bureau) running into the streets.

Details on the consequences of the quake are still emerging. Meanwhile, a Mexican friend sent me the following link to a song by the legendary Chico Che called ‘Where Did the Earthquake Grab You?’

Here in a city that in the last few months has been plagued by a deadly flu outbreak, recession and an equally strong earthquake just three weeks ago, maybe there’s nothing left to do but dance.
