The Break For 4/4/10: Another Earthquake, This Time On The West Coast
A 6.9 earthquake has transpired in the West Coast, with the epicenter being at Mexicali (Baja), Mexico.
And a 7.3 Tsunami is expected to arise.......
It was certainly felt in Phenoix, San Diego and Los Angeles, with Phenoix probably feeling it the most of the three big cities.
It was reported that it lasted for 45 seconds in most areas, but it was certainly 45 seconds of something I wouldn't wish on anybody.
No reports of damage or any injuries in the American cities, though there was one report from CNN about a women stuck in LA. But there have been a few reports of damage in Baja.
And here is a picture of landlines down in Mexico:
Sucks for you definitely if you are at Disneyland, as people are stuck on elevators after the earthquake. Hopefully that situation will not lead to anything traumatic.
Update: If you folks want more live local coverage of the earthquake, here is ABC 7 in Los Angeles.
Update 2: As Rodrigo updates, LA phone lines were jammed because of people being stuck in elevators, while there is some damage to public buildings in Mexico. Haven't heard about anything in LA or San Diego being damaged .
