Is the Acapulco earthquake being censored?

Last night there was a 7.1 in Acapulco and immediately, in the first half hour, videos and pictures got posted. Nothing has been posted since. There are very few daytime photos and practically everything is repeats of what got posted last night, in the first few minutes. This is very strange, there should have been endless photos taken by people during the day by now. It really looks like the topic is being censored.

Lots got posted in Mexico City, which did not get shaken badly. Why so little from the epicenter???

I am very suspicious about what is going on at this point. It looks like someone was told to shut up.

All the big Mexican media outlets were on this story, suddenly all at the same time shut down all reporting two hours in, and there's been nothing that I have seen since. Why?

There was significant damage to well built structures in Acapulco, what about the adobe on the outskirts? Something is not adding up. The earthquake was so violent it shattered windows inside malls and stores on the street like 711 and knocked the power out 200 miles away in Mexico city and nothing fell anywhere? Am I in a bubble? What is going on???
