F@$# I just landed in alabama for work and my wife called me freaked out with kids.

6.9 is almost a "major" earthquake

6.7 is what tore apart the San Fernando Valley (LA) in the 1994 Northrideg Earthquake causing an estimated $20 billion in damage,

So 6.9 counts as major.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Felt it big time in Palm Springs. The epicenter was south of Mexicali in Mexico and it was a 6.9...which is quite strong.

I'm wondering what happened on the Mexican side of the border, last time I drove through a border town their construction didn't exactly look sturdy.

 

[neutralizer]

Whoa, I was in the shower while the earthquake happened. That was weird.

As am I. I'm expecting some pretty bad damage down there.

Just have to wait on the news. Not many northerners down in that area since the drug wars are scaring them all away.

Live over in the Yuma area and I was outside working on the car when it started. Thought the car was going fall on me. Last one we had was only a few months ago and was like 5.9 or something. That one through off my equalibrim for a good while while this one didn't. Strange.

 

[yhelothar]

<- LA here.

I'd imagine Mexicali will have some pretty heavy damage.

 

[cmf21]

Just had another one a 4.9.

 

[Amused]

I'd imagine Mexicali will have some pretty heavy damage.

Yep. Lots of brick and lessor buildings. Hope everyone is okay.

 

[pray4mojo]

dizzy.

 

[GundamW]

Does this mean California will finally break off and float away?

Well I hope so. I got huge stake at Costa Del Lex, Luthorville, Marina del Lex, .... and Otisburg.

 

[Bignate603]

Yep. Lots of brick and lessor buildings. Hope everyone is okay.

I hope everyone is ok except for the drug cartels. I wouldn't shed a tear over any of them after what they've been doing down there.
