There was a 7.2 earthquake in Baja Mexico. Baja is less than an hour away from where we live. We were watching tv with my sister and her boyfriend when my sister said, "Is that an earthquake?" Then it really started rocking back and forth. We grabbed the kids and ran outside, along with all of our neighborhood. It continued while we were outside. It seemed to be minutes. Linda and Bruce got really scared. We were actually all pretty nervous because it just seemed to go on so long. I was nervous that the cement would crack.(This New Mexican girl is not used to earthquakes) Robert has lived in California most all his life and has never felt one that lasted so long. Oceanside usually doesn't feel too many earthquakes. My mom called from Palm Desert, CA which is about 120miles away from us and she felt it as well. Crazy.
All is well though and we are wondering if we'll feel any aftershocks.

On yahoo it said it was a 7.2 earthquake. I am glad you are all safe and okay.
Yes, they changed it to 7.2 magnitude.
It was a strange one for me. It was like being on a boat. Made me sea sick.
Jenny and Cain live 25 miles from the epicenter. They were in Phoenix that day but their apartment was turned upside down when they returned. The stove moved, the fridge moved and the TV was on the floor. Most of her breakable dishes broke except the ones she had in the dishwasher. No fun being 7+ months pregnant and having to clean up the entire apartment. Many, many aftershocks every day.
