Looks like it had a small precursor. Let's hope there is not a bigger one to come.

 

[Dr.Fessel]

I would take precautions for another one.

 

[byo]

Yep. That was a good one.

 

[JBean]

Yep. That was a good one.

Was it strong in san Diego county? I don't get too excited about earthquakes but that one had me off the chair.

 

[STEADFAST]

We were here (San Diego area) for the Hector Mine quake in 1999, which was a bigger quake, but we sure felt this one more. Our apartment was swaying all over the place. I bet Tijuana has had lots of damage.
I hear Yuma, AZ got it bad.

[PMLsmom]

Didn't feel anything here in Bakersfield...

 

[STEADFAST]

Funny thing. My small apartment complex empties out almost immediatey, and we were all in the parking lot with our laptops posting about the earthquake.

We're right on the beach, within sight of Mexico. The ocean seems to be acting weird still, waves not breaking normally, but maybe that's just my fevered imagination.

 

[JBean]

Here is a place you can report that you felt it.

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/

I always report there and it is really accurate. I usually get an email when there is a shaker but i haven't even gotten that yet.

My kids are coming for Easter dinner tonight but they are reporting in from various locations.

 

[Sleuthster]

Is it true that you are supposed to go out side if there is an earthquake? I dont know if I would think that was any safer. Wow, I feel for ya'll. Praying that was it.
