I’m praying for all affected by this quake, hope it is not too bad, all things considered.

[tubebender]

LOL...I’ll have to remember that whopper

[Brad’s Gramma]

I am SO thankful that I’ve not YET felt any of these.

I need coffee.

I need to go find a link to Mexico’s stuff. News. You know. Because I’m not hearing (on this thread) of much or ANY serious damage here.

Saw the pic of the house that WAS a two story, I heard of one death...and that’s it.

I think.

Feel free to correct me. ;

Old Japanese saying:

In case of earthquake, run upstairs,
because upstairs is a good place to be
when upstairs becomes downstairs!

I just spoke with my mom. She was sitting in her favorite chair watching TV when it hit. She is in Rancho San Diego (slightly south of El Cajon). It was enough of a shake that she was happy to be seated. At 82, her balance isn't great. No apparent damage. He big TV is still on the table. She has felt many of the aftershocks.

You are right, Luke. It is excellent!

The quake was close enough to the incredibly dense Southern California seismometer network that it’s picking up even quite small aftershocks.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Ahhhhhh so!

:)

[janetjanet998]

lots of aftershocks the past hour more north into S CA

a few 4.0’s

map may be misleading though becuase I;m not sure if smaller aftershocks show up in Mexico,,just in the US

but still

lots the past hour in the US

I lived through 3 of them in the 7.2, 6.8, 7. within 24 hours back in 92 I believe. Hell I’m so old I endured to Tehachapi quake of 52. no, not 1852 >:~(

Southern California seismometer network

Say THAT five times fast!

[Quix]

Any trends in those locations that might portend anything?

Me to. That was my first big one and we lived out in Palm Springs at the time. I have been thought quite a few over the years. Mexicali seems to be the place that was hardest hit with ths one.
