Kids crying, trees swaying.

I have little doubt Mexicali and Tijuanna just experienced fatalities.
6.9 can be serious. Just over the border.
Sort of a rolling shaker. Disconcerting as always.

Yeah, I just felt it at UCSD. Was listen to music when my head started to spin. Thought to myself, "what the fuck, I'm not drunk," then realised that my drawers were shaking.

I dunno. As Mexico is a shithole it's not like everybody has broadband connections.

People were stuck in high rise elevators in Los Angeles, meh.

There are small quakes going on up and down the coast atm.

The question always is; pre-shock or the main event? The clustering of quakes along the major faults flowing through the Salton Sea area and down into Medico are what concerns me. I still say we are in for a doozy sometime soon here.

Do not rule out the possibilty of a volcanic eruption near Mammoth Mountain that could really cause havok.

So, main event = non story. Pre shock = oh shit.

Time will tell.

eleven bravo thinks my thread title is racist.

The fact is, if there were beans near the epicenter, and you know there were, they would of in fact been jumping.

Condolences to the reported fatality.

Oh, I guess I am assuming.

Mexicali actually has a lot of Americans and decent construction standards. Tijuanna it is not.

The New York Times reported that in Calexico, California, across the border from Mexicali, Carlton Hargrave, 64, was standing in the entryway of the Family Style Buffet restaurant when the quake hit. The restaurant, he said in a telephone interview, was "almost completely destroyed. We’ve got tables overturned, plates broken on the floor.”

“The ceilings caved in. It was big, I mean, it was major," he said in a shaky voice, as his feet moved over rubble and glass and plate fragments to produce a crunching sound.

There are 653,000 residents in Mexicali, according to 2005 census figures.

One confirmed, but I suspect there will be many more.

And, holy shi...
