My oldest child and his family felt it outside of Phoenix, Arizona which is at least 4 hours distance away. They said the floors shook for over a minute. Pretty scary but haven't heard of any injuries.
Another earthquake...<!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( --> What is this...the 5th one we have had this year so far? <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> <!-- s --><!-- s -->
A string of earthquakes rattled the Pacific Coast of the United States and Mexico, including a magnitude 6.9 quake felt across Baja California, Arizona and southern California, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
It was crazy!
I'm in the Central Valley, not so far from L.A,
and water was splashing out of people's pools.
Nice to see everyone is okay. <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: -->
Just seen the news here in Australia. On behalf of all Australians ,we are glad nobody was injured. We send our L.O.V.E. Hey, by the way, we here in Australia have also been experiencing some minor tremors as well. Very unusual for our country. This is bad news................
The earthquake was upgraded to a 7.2 from a 6.9. Originally they reported it to be 20.1 feet deep. Now Cal Tech says they were only 5 miles deep. This concerns me. I have been in California all of my life and been through many quakes. The reason is that Northern California is having quakes and the Southern is also. I believe and it's just an educated guess that the San Andres fault is about to go. It is being awakened by all these others faults. I did not feel this one but my family about 5 miles from here did. That is weird. Usually when they feel it I do too. The water in their pool was spilling out.
I finally got home from work to post about the earthquake.I live in San Diego and we felt it pretty good it was a swaying and rolling motion.I work in a grocery store people started panicking and running toward the exit doors.A coworker and I ran into a walk in freezer we knew we would be safe in there just in case the building would start tumbling down. Thank God nothing serious happened.....But that was the longest earthquake I can remember experiencing and believe me I have had my share of them living out here in Cali. The only thing that was going thru my mind was "It's Easter Sunday and we are having an Earthquake"? Very odd. : I hope all is well with everyone else and keep the faith. xoxoxoxo
i work in a really old building and i was standing in the hallway and i felt a slight movement and then all of a sudden the rolling started to increase and the entire building was swaying back and forth for sooo long. i know that buildings in california are built to move, but i've never been in a building that moved so much. people were standing in the middle of the street and the sidewalks and parked cars were moving back and forth. it lasted for at least 30 seconds. i felt 2 aftershocks within an hour after the first one hit. ugh i hate earthquakesssss.
i haven't heard the news yet about how baja is. i hope to god they are all right. i hope all of my southern california people are well too!
I live in Los Angeles and felt it. I was on the computer and felt my seat and the house rocking. I went outside and watched the bushes in front of the house shake around. That must have been a pretty strong earthquake to feel it from that far away.
It was very strange, about 3:45 or so here in Phoenix I felt it. Me and my friends had just sat down in the living room, and started our movie, all the sudden I felt this really faint vibration coming from the floor through the couch, I remember feeling really weird almost seemed I was getting dizzy. I was about to say to my friends "do we have earthquacks here in Phoenix"? but no one else seemed to notice so I did not say anything,I thought I was just imagining it somehow... I have not heard of anyone being hurt so far, hopefully the report stays that way. Glad to see all of you are ok.

I am glad that everyone is okay.
I agree Wendy about the San Andres fault, when this fault goes its going to hit all of Cali from the north to the south its not going to be good at all. I am a California native myself, and planning on moving back to Cali, next year, I still want to come back home eventhough there are quacks, I love my home...
