Residents crowded the streets as earthquake alarms sounded. The earthquake shook an already troubled country. Monday’s strongest earthquake was the third major earthquake to hit on September 19 – in 1985, 2017 and now 2022. The 2017 and 2022 September 19 earthquakes came very shortly after the annual earthquake drill held every September 19 for to commemorate the disaster that killed in 1985 approximately 9,500 people.
