Mexico Earthquake
« on: April 04, 2010, 09:06:53 PM »
Strongest earthquake I've felt in five years in Cali. Was pretty weird - like being on a boat rather than the usual jolts. Lasted about 30 secs or so and had my UK visitors well freaked out.

Sounds like everyone came through OK thankfully.

just had another big jolt.  all afternoon, every 5 min jolts rocking homes, sometimes they are they big and slow rolling kind, sometimes like a quick hammer hit.  the first one was heard coming by a few seconds and was very difficult to walk with the amount of rolling occurring.  power went out, glass shattering, furniture ripping from walls, cars vibrated and shifted out of place, gas leaks all over, gas stations all closed for repair, stores can be seen a mess through windows.  posting with cell phone, sleeping in rv.
