1. FELT IT IN SAN DIEGO

WHERE?

[CreekDog]

13. near El Centro

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

2. I take it most of california is attached to the rest of the country?

[damntexdem]

18. Better go check.

Although 5.9 isn't that much of a quake.

[itsrobert]

3. Looks like it center in Calexico area

El Centro, CA

[BeatleBoot]

4. USGS Link Here

[Bobbieo]

8. Also felt it in Yuma - nothing yet on Seismic Map

[Tailormyst]

5. I saw it on my earthquake alert add-on- said 5.9 on the mexico border

[Tailormyst]

6. duplicate post- sorry

[LWolf]

7. One about 7 hours ago near Death Valley, 3.6.

One in Baja near the border an hour ago, 3.5.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

9. Didn't feel it in Los Angeles n/t

[spinbaby]

10. Here's a map

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/

Looks like a 5.

[Cleita]

11. That's not too bad. It will shake some stuff off of furniture and shelves and

might break a few things. It's more scary than anything else. Hopefully it's not a pre-quake for a bigger one.

[CreekDog]

14. 5.9, almost 30 times stronger than a 5

[CreekDog]

12. Right near El Centro and Mexicali

hope there is no damage.

[Ian David]

15. Update: No injuries reported so far in 5.8-magnitude earthquake followed by three aftershocks...

16. Glad to hear that. I'm sure it was scary anyway

hugs to all who felt it! :hug:

17. Unfortunatly, they are moving pallets on the roof above -

All sorts of rattles, clunks, and movement, as we're on the second floor of the old Convair buildings on Pacific Highway - I don't know what's a quake and what's just the normal industrial sensations for this building.

But my boss said he felt something; he's got a "window office" near one of the supporting stantions.

And I was reminded that this came just in time for the Holiday Bowl parade today. :)

Also, I just looked at the map. There was a swarm of earthquakes - averaging around 4 - 5 magnitute in that same area about 8/9 months ago. It's a common "stress" area for the San Andreas and some of her sister faults.

19. Been all over our news. I didn't feel it in LA

[Tailormyst]

20. Lots of activity on that spot today

21. One of these days the San Andreas Fault is going to rip.

It will be a very bad day for everyone in the United States, crazier than 9-11.

[Brother Buzz]

23. I believe the Hayward fault will make a bigger impact WHEN it rips open

The entire bay area will surely be a mess, but the delta levees to the east will liquefy and fail, sending in a sea of salt water in that will severely impact LA supply.


One of my favorite 1906 earthquake photographs taken at Stanford.

24. Maybe those missing sea lions at Pier 39 don't want to be sucked into that...

:yoiks:

[Brother Buzz]

25. Sea Lions have traveled up into the delta and beyond

This sea lion swam up the Sacramento delta then up an irrigation ditch until there was no more water, then crawled out of the ditch and commandeered a CHP vehicle sixty miles from the ocean.

[silverweb]

22. I felt nothing.

I live within 2 miles of the Tijuana crossing and never noticed a thing. The cats have all been behaving normally, too. Weird.
