6.9 magnitude earthquake hits Baja California
2010-04-04
A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck Baja California in northwestern Mexico on Sunday, shaking the ground at least as far away as Los Angeles, California, the U.S. Geological Survey and witnesses reported. The quake struck at 3:40 p.m. PT and was centered about 175 kilometers (110 miles) east-southeast of Tijuana, according to the USGS.

Chandeliers swung and water sloshed around in swimming pools in the Los Angeles suburbs, witnesses reported, while posters to Twitter reported feeling the quake in Phoenix, Arizona.

#3  MSM-NET > The USGS is repor that GUAM + MARIANSA suffered a series of quakies this Easter weekend. LOCAL NEWS claims that twas wasn't enuff for people for feel anyting at all.

I WOULDN'T GO THAT FAR, as the quakes were strong enough to SUDDENLY JOLT MYSELF + OTHERS OUT OF OUR RESTAURANT SEATS, + also LOUD ESCALATING "ROLLER" RUMBLINGS WHICH SUDDENLY STOPPED.

#2  I'm still observing AURORA BOREALIS = GREEN/-ISH LIGHT BANDS out here over GUAM-WESTPAC.

Plus seemingly DISTORTED CHAOTIC, as opposed to SPHERICAL = WELL-ROUNDED/SHAPED, BALLS OR FLASHES OF LIGHT.
