Internet users posted dozens of videos of the phenomenon, prompting a trend under the tag #Apocalipsis, which is Spanish for Apocalypse, the biblical term used to denote the end of the world.
The earthquake in southwestern Guerrero state killed one man and damaged buildings in the holiday getaway but did not appear to cause widespread destruction, authorities said in initial reports.
There were no reports of significant damage in Mexico City.
In footage from Acapulco, the flashes start shortly after the ground starts shaking, illuminating previously darkened hills behind the ocean bay and at one point appearing to bathe buildings on the shoreline in bright light.
In Mexico City, panicked residents tried to keep their balance outside an apartment building while the sky flashed blue, white and pink, another video on social media showed.
Strange lights reported during earthquakes around the world are often imbued with religious meaning by those who witness them. There is little scientific consensus on what causes the luminosity, or even if it is a real phenomenon.

Theories for what researchers call Earthquake Lights (EQL) include friction between moving rocks creating electrical activity. Similar lights were reported by some people during a destructive quake in Mexico in 2017.
Skeptics say witnesses may be seeing more mundane lightning.
“Geophysicists differ on the extent to which they think that individual reports of unusual lighting near the time and epicenter of an earthquake actually represent EQL,” the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) says on its website.
“Some doubt that any of the reports constitute solid evidence,” USGS said.
Mass of that magnitude grinding together could certainly create a static electricity. Maybe short sections of natural gas lines rupturing while pressure activated valving travel too the closed position?
Of course Jesus claimed to be God’s Son! That is why the Pharisees plotted on numerous occasions to kill him, first by stoning but He escaped that, but then ultimately Jesus died on the cross. Yes, he preached Judaism but the New Covenant, not the Judaism of the Old Covenant. Jesus said that He was the “I AM”. Jesus said he existed before Abraham. There are many other examples in the Bible of Jesus claim to deity. When we say the Shema of Deuteronmy, the last word is ECHAD, which means compostie unity (eschol echad/ grapes on a vine….bosor echad/ man and wife are “one flesh” united in marriage) The Shema does not use the word yachid, which in Hebrew means only one in the regular singular sense, with no pluralism implied. This is one of many references to the idea of the Trinity. Even the Jewish scholar Philo, who lived at the time of the Greek empire, before the birth of Jesus, wrote that he understood the Hebrew Scripture to indicate a plural unity of God. I write this all in love and wish you the best! Jesus saves and He is God incarnate.
You people are absolute fools! Christ did not preach “Judaism”, Jews and Judaism did NOT exist in the time of Christ or before; Christ spoke of the Word of GOD (YHWH) – the Hebrew texts (Bible). You dumbassssses have been indoctrinated with the lies and misinterpretations of modern bibles which violate GOD’s (YHWH’s) law to not change his word. The belief in GOD and Christ came from HEBREWISM, because GOD’s people were the Hebrews. The “jews” during the time of Christ were EDOMITES, divided into two groups, the Pharisees and Sadducees. Edomites infiltrated the land of Judah, home of the Judahites (true descentants of Abraham), just as Mexicans have infiltrated America, or Muslimes have infiltrated Europe. The word “jew” didn’t even exist until the 1800’s (look it up) and neither did the term “Juddaism”, when they were added to the KJV of the Bible that was originally translated 200 years prior (1600’s). So there also was NO “jewish” scholar – Philo was an EDOMITE (likely a pharisee)! The only portion of the Hebrew Bible that the “jews/edomites” believe in is the first five books that they call the Torah, the rest of their “Bible” is from the rabbinic Talmud! They worship Satan/Moloch/Remphan! They were condemned by GOD (YHWH) for worshiping false gods (the syagogue of satan) and for denying Christ! Their national symbol is the “Star of Remphan”.
The biggest problem with “Christianity” is that they do NOT teach true biblical history from the Hebrew texts, they teach the deceit embedded in the modern translations.
So much bias. From you and the people who posted before you. I don’t think “Jesus” claimed to be anything more than a spiritual person. And as far as the Mexicans infiltrating America?! That’s about as biased as anybody can possibly be. And I’m not going to even bother to explain why. Other than say that America is a continent and they were here first.

You’re an idiot – read what I wrote to “Holly Russo Buss Russo Buss”. I explain in detail!
A jarring 7 on the Richter Scale followed by extraordinary lighting effects are enough to instigate all sorts of rational/irrational responses to such a phenomenon that bodes either annihilation or nothing more threatening than our attention focused on a glittering rhinestone atop a dog pile.
I believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Jesus will be coming back to fight the Evil One and his worshipers, to set the world right again. Our world has been in darkness far too long. People have turned away from God, now Satan runs rampant fueling hatred, murder, devious acts and all other Evil that exists today in our world. Jesus promised He would return and I know in my heart that He will. One of the most incredible movies to be made is called ‘The Chosen’. Everyone should watch it. I did and it is a beautiful story of His life. You can see the work of Satan everywhere and the way he works. Abortion is one of Satan’s many evils and those that celebrate the murdering of innocents are condemning themselves to an eternity of pain and suffering in Hell. It is not too late to turn to God, ask for forgiveness and walk with Him.
Yadda,yadda,yadda; thank you!

Just a simple effect with a cause that has not yet been fully explained through physics. Because nobody has cared enough yet to bother doing the research. However, I can say that those who mentioned friction, static and certain elements are most likely very close. And the ones who are bringing up “”The Apocalypse” are very far from the truth. Predicting an apocacyptic event which is caused by nature is like trying to predict something that may or may not ever happen. And predicting an apocalyptic event that will be caused by mankind is like predicting a self fulfilling prophesy. Because anything that has ever happened that was anywhere near an apocalyptic event caused by man has always been the result of some religious fanatic spouting a bunch of horse manure. All those stupid Catholic Christian wars against humanity were just a justification for persecuting another race with different religious beliefs. The fact is, is that we are all just seriously flawed human beings trying to survive on a planet full of things that are trying to kill us. It’s just a fact of nature. And the idiots who continue to try to kill us or judge another human being are the ones who are wrong. The enlightened ones are the ones who care about everyone else, no mater how flawed they might be. Sure murderers should not be left free to murder whomever they want. They should be dealt with in an appropriate manner. But we have no right judging them or killing them. The correct or spiritual/enlightened thing to do would be to imprison them. And not in a torturous manner. But in a manner that is conducive to their well being. Because spiritual/enlightened people care about the well being of all living creatures. And that is the difference between spiritual/enlightened people and all other religious people. Don’t judge others. Period. Forget the part about lest ye be judged. That’s just more stupidity.
A 19-year-old Colombian woman, claiming to have never been with a man, asserts she was impregnated by an ‘evil spirit’, sparking a spirited debate on social media.
Following strange dreams and a sense of supernatural presences, along with her missing periods, a visit to the gynecologist confirmed her pregnancy.
Despite some skepticism and accusations of her fabricating the story, there are also supporters who believe her claims, citing they’ve heard similar stories before.
When it comes to tales of the unexpected, this one is surely one for the books.
A 19-year-old woman from Colombia, who says she has never been romantically involved with a man, now insists that her current pregnancy is the work of an ‘evil spirit.’
A supernatural Casanova, if you will.
The Colombian teen has been stirring up all kinds of chatter on Latino social media after she boldly told TV Malambo, a local media outlet, that she’s convinced her pregnancy is a supernatural event.
According to her, she began having strange dreams and experienced eerie presences in her room.
Then suddenly, she stopped having her period, leading her mother to rush her to a gynecologist, who declared her pregnant.

She made the claim inn a statement that almost reads like a novel.
“I have not been with any man, suddenly I stopped menstruating and my mother took me to the health center for a check-up and there I found out that I got pregnant.”
The young woman accepts that her story is difficult to swallow and confesses that she herself is puzzled about her mysterious pregnancy.
However, this hasn’t stopped the internet from erupting into a spirited (pun intended) debate.
Some skeptics suggest she concocted the story to dodge parental wrath, while others back her claim, swearing they’ve heard of similar instances.
One supporter commented, “She is telling the truth, I have heard of other cases like this. The last thing her father or mother should do is kick her out of the family home.”
It should be noted that in Colombia, teen pregnancies are more common than in most countries worldwide.
But this is definitely not your average teen pregnancy story.

In fact, it’s worth noting that this isn’t the first ‘supernaturally-induced’ pregnancy we’ve heard about.
Just last year, an Indonesian woman claimed she got pregnant after a gust of wind swept through her.
With stories like these, who needs Netflix for entertainment?
Popular Japanese YouTuber ‘homosapi’ stirred up a controversy by cooking and eating a broth made from Portuguese Man-o-Wars, a marine organism known for its deadly sting, in a video for his over one million subscribers.
While the YouTuber reported no ill effects and described the taste as similar to scallops, marine experts strongly cautioned against trying to recreate the risky recipe, due to the potential for remaining toxicity and risk of inhaling poisonous fumes during cooking.
Despite having a health professional present during the stunt, homosapi’s video has sparked a debate about responsible content creation, and experts are urging the public to avoid attempting to cook or consume dangerous marine creatures like the Man-o-War.
In what might be the next “do not try this at home” viral sensation, popular Japanese YouTuber ‘homosapi’ has stirred the pot, quite literally, with a marine menace: the Portuguese Man-o-War.
To his over one million subscribers, he served up a video of himself cooking and slurping a broth made from these dangerous dwellers of the deep.
Known for their venomous sting capable of immobilizing or even killing its prey, the Portuguese Man-o-War is not your usual soup du jour.
However, homosapi was not deterred, having been inspired by adventurous eaters who allegedly claimed the venomous creature’s broth was as delectable as the finest delicacy.
Seeking not only the thrill of the culinary dare but also the promise of viral views, homosapi and his friends embarked on a beach trip, hunting for washed-up Man-o-Wars.
Once they’d bagged their jelly-like prizes, the YouTuber proceeded to cook them into a wobbly blob.
He added veggies, sauces, and a suspect pinch of MSG before diving in with a daring taste test.

His verdict?
It’s somewhat scallop-esque, with no apparent ill effects.
While the YouTuber may have taken the phrase “anything for views” quite literally, marine life experts were quick to condemn the stunt.
Warning the public against recreating this risky recipe, they emphasized that while a boiled Man-o-War might lose some of its toxicity, there’s no guarantee that the potent, protein-based poison is completely neutralized.
Shuhei Ikeda, a jellyfish breeder at the Kamo Aquarium, also highlighted the danger of inhaling toxic fumes during the cooking process, which could result in serious allergies and breathing issues.
In an attempt to counterbalance the wild stunt, homosapi revealed that a health professional was on hand throughout the precarious cooking show.
Nonetheless, the video continues to raise eyebrows and spark debates about responsible content creation.
So, folks, let’s stick to more traditional soup ingredients, shall we?

Leave the Man-o-Wars to the marine experts, not the daredevil YouTubers.
Archaeologists recently discovered two human skeletons in Pompeii, trapped under a collapsed building during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. These individuals likely perished in an initial earthquake, offering new insights into the unfolding of this historic disaster.
Located in a building known as the “Insula of the Chaste Lovers,” this discovery emphasizes how much more is yet to be unearthed about Pompeii’s tragic end. The skeletons, along with the detailed accounts of Pliny the Younger, contribute to our understanding of the city’s demise and Roman life.
As a major archaeological site, Pompeii continues to provide significant scientific value, shedding light on the scale of the disaster that buried the city. Ongoing excavations and advancements in archaeological techniques promise to reveal further aspects of this ancient catastrophe.
Pompeii, the ancient city frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, continues to reveal its hidden tales nearly 2000 years later.
Recently, archaeologists made a grim but fascinating discovery of two human skeletons crushed beneath the ruins of a collapsed building, adding a new perspective to the understanding of this historic catastrophe.
The two unfortunate victims are believed to have been trapped during an earthquake that heralded the volcanic eruption.
Their discovery within a building, quaintly known as the “Insula of the Chaste Lovers,” underscores how much remains to be unearthed about this monumental disaster.
“The discovery of the remains of these two Pompeians shows how much there is still to discover about the terrible eruption of AD 79,” said Gennaro Sangiuliano, Italian Minister of Culture, emphasizing the importance of the find.
The skeletal pair was found along the side of a utility room, trapped beneath the debris of a fallen wall.
The dramatic pose of one man, his arm raised against the rubble, illustrates a vain attempt to shield himself from the collapsing building.

An in-depth examination revealed the cause of their demise to be multiple traumas from the building’s partial collapse.
This poignant snapshot gives a chilling insight into the terror experienced by Pompeii’s residents during the city’s last moments.
In the span of just over 24 hours, the Vesuvius eruption obliterated Pompeii, ending the lives of 15 to 20 percent of the city’s population.
Buried under a thick blanket of volcanic ash, the Roman city was frozen in a horrific tableau, remaining untouched for centuries until its rediscovery in 1748.
The findings at the site, combined with historical accounts like those of Pliny the Younger, have helped archaeologists piece together the timeline of the catastrophic event and provide a glimpse into Roman life.
Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, expressed how “modern excavation techniques help to shed light on the inferno that descended on Pompeii over two days, leading to the city’s complete destruction.”
The earthquake that claimed the lives of the unearthed men most likely occurred during the eruption’s initial stages, before the torrent of pumice stones and deadly pyroclastic flows further devastated the city.
Sangiuliano stressed that discoveries such as this “confirm the necessity of continuing scientific investigation and excavations” in Pompeii, a sentiment echoed by many in the archaeological community.

An “immense archaeological laboratory,” Pompeii continues to amaze the world with its ongoing revelations, vividly illustrating the human side of one of history’s most notorious natural disasters.
