6.9 in Baja, according to google. Shook pretty hard all the way up here in L.A.

[Jim Bremner]

cerritos, it was WAY LONGER THAN 10 seconds

[Westy]

Baja's building codes are terrible. That should cause some damage.

Here's a map:

32.0931,-115.2491(M6.9 - Baja California, Mexico - 2010 April 04 22:40:39 UTC) - Google Maps

My pool lost half its water. No other damage.

[JFK713]

USGS site says 6.9, that may cause some trouble. Shook pretty good here...

[Ronbo]

Felt it up in Oxnard.

[DARISC]

Felt it very briefly (2 or 3 seconds) - very mild here in Carlsbad.

First time I've had a tsunami in my pool. I'm in Bay Park and it was VERY strong. I felt like I was walking drunk when I got up to move outside.

Nawwwww, a bit of an exaggeration, but a lot of the water ended up outside the pool. Felt very strong here in south OC. I was trying to #2 upstairs the entire earthquake. That was interesting. The mimosa's played a part, too.

Pool here, too. It lost water as well. Sloshed around a good bit. The doorbell chimes were the eeriest, as they banged into each other for a while @ the rolling (note: not shaking).

Very slow and soft roller in LB. Anything hanging was swaying no more than 3" but one plant basket I stopped began to sway again. I couldn't really feel it standing, but sitting it was a good one. I think my chair moved a 1/4 inch each way on the initial shock. I'd say I knew it was going on for half a minute.

I can see how a pool might react big time to that. I have no idea how the toilet bowl treated Richard. But with the mimosas and all, how did he know?

[ossiblue]

We were walking our dogs, got home and I noticed water from our pool all over the deck--couldn't figure out what had happened! Had no clue there was a quake--didn't feel it at all on the walk. Went upstairs to get on line and felt a small shaker. Checked Google and that was the first I knew of the 6.9 in Mexico. Been two small ones since. We're in So Orange Co.

Am at Yuma proving ground. Sharp bounce followed by rolling, maybe 10 seconds worth. Have been several attention-getting aftershocks, all the same, bounce followed by rolls.

Suspect I'll not be sleeping well tonight.
