Wow...that was a good shake...it went on for quite a while. Everybody ok?

[Godzilla]

yep, south of Brawley CA and another 4.1 closer to the border - fairly widely dispersed aftershocks - a little unusual.

smaller aftershocks in the Geysers area.

[Inyo-Mono]

[Pylon]

Yep. It was a 5.1 north of the border that time

[Redcloak]

There have been two more quakes in the area, but nowhere near the 6.9. The latest is a 5.1 further up the fault near El Centro.

[Yaelle]

Scary. Prayers up for you guys in Yuma. Prayers for the Mexicans living close to the quake!!!

[Ezekiel]

I wonder if this is the beginning of something bigger

Follow the San Andreas to Pelosiville.

Sac is OK Piper, there was a 4.0 and a 4.1 in the Geysers area in N. CA

[Steve Van Doorn]

notice there were about 10 quakes within a few miles of the big one BEFORE the big one. That means it was a small swarm.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

Sounds like an AlQuaeda operation to me.

Actually, the north end of the Gulf of California just moved a few inches closer to the border.

It’s a big drone center. It’s got training centers and people live there. I do not think it is an apartment. They own businesses and buildings all around that bright blue building.

They must have bought paint on sale.

[MagUSNRET]

You two keep safe!! Thoughts are with you all!!

[Niteflyr]

Not Godzilla, but FLUFFY!!!

Hahahaha!!!

[Mrs.Liberty]

[Pylon]

[marktwain]

Another aftershock going on as I type, the strongest aftershock so far, could feel the house shake.... In Yuma.

[Palladin]

What an Easter surprise !

Hope all our FReepers are well out there, and holding it all together.
