SAN DIEGO — The California-Mexico border region was rocked by a magnitude-5.7 quake Monday, rattling nerves from San Diego north to Orange County and Los Angeles.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered five miles southeast of Ocotillo in Imperial County — about 85 miles east of San Diego. It struck Monday at 9:26 p.m. PDT.

Did anyone feel this? The nit is still young out there so perhaps some fellow ATS members could report on this...

Evidently this is an aftershock of the baja earthquake on Easter...

Every day I get just a lil more concerned for this home of ours...

Is California prepared for another big one?

OH yeah it was a good shaker. Lasted about 30 seconds or so. Not quite as strong as the Mexicali quake in April (?). The duration was shorter too.

I live just south of where the quake was centered. This year we've had many more quakes than usual. But then, the slip strike zone is wide and complex so it's to be expected.

30 years ago the big one to hit El Centro was about the same and there were "adjustments" up and down the valley for a while. I don't think it's anything to do with the Mayan calendar or rapture or anything like that.

Yawn....
