#2 Yeah, it's a shame that a few people may have lost a glass or two off their shelves. Nothing serious happened.

The area is a fairly well known fault zone (Ramapo Fault), so every couple of years you might get a 'bump' or two. Most you wouldn't even feel.

#8 The 2010 Baja California earthquake (also known as 2010 Easter earthquake, 2010 Sierra El Mayor earthquake, or 2010 El Mayor – Cucapah earthquake) occurred on April 4 (Easter Sunday) with a moment magnitude of 7.2 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong). The shock originated at 15:40:41 local time (3:40:41 PM PDT) south of Guadalupe Victoria, Baja California, Mexico.

Son and I were driving thru Calexico on our way to New Mexico in a Corolla...never knew about the quake till much later.
