I was looking at usgs last night and the amount of 4.0 to 6.0s around the whole globe was concerning. I was afraid this was going to happen to Mexico too considering the recent ones.

They have sensors close to the fault lines. The speed of P and S shock waves going through the ground is around 800 miles/hour. That's 12 miles/minute, so like a tsunami, they have a few minutes to move somewhere safe before the shockwaves hit.
