Earthquake in Baja CA; my sister the only one to feel it
in her office in Santa Ana (about 680 miles away)

6.9 in the gulf.

Any other So. Cali. folks?

1. My dear Bertha!
Nope, didn't feel it here...

I suspect LA is just too far away, even for 6.9.

I wonder if KW felt it...

2. So far on the USGS "DYFI" site over 50 people in L.A. have felt it
But my sister said it was pretty mild.

It's been felt in Phoenix & Tucson too.

3. I'm surprised!
Maybe folks in high rises?

Who knows!

Phoenix and Tucson don't surprise me...they're a lot closer than LA.

7. There are reports here in Tucson of people feeling them.
Apparently 5- to 10-story building occupants felt
the swaying.

yikes!
