Our new Mexicali facility was hit bad. That town received some of the most damage. Sorry for the grainy after picture.

Looks like Monday I'll be going down to help repair the damage. The huge chemical baths sustained some damage.

I had no idea that the quake did that much damage. On your before and after pictures, it looks like the quake turned your rectangular windows into square windows. Wow!

The whole town is messed up bad. I will get better pics when I'm down there. I hope all goes well. They keep having tremors. They had a 5.3 this morning at around 9:30. They say there's another 7+ that may be brewing in the next few weeks. I hope I'm not standing next to one of the 6000 gallon acid baths if that sucker hits... :lol:

Wow, that's just crazy! I can imagine that it would be a bit unnerving to be out there during the quake and see the canyon walls coming down. Be careful where you camp! :shock:
