Just heard it on the news. Hopefully, everything is ok for those who are in or near the area (in SoCal).

yup, felt it while in Glendale about 3-4 hours North of Baja...wasn't too bad by us, building kept rolling back and forth.....

hope everyone in San Diego is alright (as that is much closer to the epicenter)

That was definitely a rolling quake. Thing lasted quite some time. I was getting motion sickness.

Wow. Thankfully I was more than 100 miles south of the border.

Damn. This must have been an extremely powerful quake at the epicenter.

Just watched the news, they are correcting it from 6.9 to 7.2. Said that in the next few days, we should expect aftershocks ranging up to 6.0.

I have a friend that's going home right now to Mexicali, where apparently is near the epicenter. I hope her family is alright.
