I ran across this, about an hour ago
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck near Mexico's Baja Peninsula on Tuesday but a local official said there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

The quake's epicenter was located 46 miles north of La Paz, Mexico, and was centered in the Gulf of California, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

"It felt pretty strong," said Ivan Calderon, a Baja Sur civil protection official, adding there were no reports of damages or injuries.

A magnitude 6 earthquake is capable of causing severe damage.

Why would someone move this topic? We all felt it here and wondered what was going on.

some of the word police may not be smart enough to figure baja cal. is in mexico, and of course i have seen alot more cuss words being used of late go figure

I experienced the "shaker" in La Paz yesterday. It seemed to last for 8-10 seconds.

It´s front page news here today; schools are closed and officials are checking for damage.

The thunder and lightning that accompanied the quake added to its impact, a lot of people were scared shirt-less.
