But it was down in Baja. We did get a fair amount of shaking here but I've looked around my house and no damage. Still, it's our biggest quake in years.

I'm expecting damage down in Mexico since so many of their buildings are made to low standards. Well, the big buildings are made to good standards but lots of people build their own homes using bricks which isn't a great idea in an earthquake zone.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate. -

The USGS changed the rating to 7.2 and says the strongest after shock was 5.4. To compare the Haiti earthquake was a 7.0 so this was stronger then the earthquake in Haiti. There are some reports of a collapsed building in Calixico just north of Mexicali, BC which was the epicenter.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Are all these earthquakes connected somehow? Haiti, Chile, now this?If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

There was a split-second shaking, but nothing big where I was in LA. Friend was in a 12 story building downtown and felt it a lot much more. Crazy amount of aftershocks."I predict your ignore will rival Ben's" - Ecofarm

It's always the buildings which have their garage on the first floor with the living area above the garage which collapse. In the Northridge earthquake it was almost exclusively those types of houses which got condemned.Originally posted by gribbler View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Naw, the one out here was just normal movement on the San Andres fault system. Baja and much of coastal California are on the Pacific plate which is moving north-northwest relative to the North America plate.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Oerdin, it seems like there are two stretches of heavy earthquake areas - calif,mexico,guatemala and peru,chile and a hole inbetween. Is this "hole" just because there are no news reports or is it actually more quiet (lots of small quakes instead of few but big) ?With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
