Mexican tsunami wiped out our marina

We woke up in the middle of the night, by Mexicos biggest earthquake ever, 8.5 at Richter! When we the next morning came to the marina I thought it looked a little damp on the ground and could not remember any rain had fallen. But when I came to the docks...cheeeses. What a devastation! All docks were damaged. Some had broken of like matches.

Here is a video from the marina showing what the tsunami did

At least in range of possibilities it was a minor tsunami...otherwise the marina would be gone!
