Anyone else feel earth tremors just now here in Socal?
Here in San Diego we felt some definite movement, and it went on for 10-15 seconds or so.

4. There was an incredible swarm south of the border last week
southwest of Mexicali. This might be more of the same farther up the fault.

Rock and roll!

5. Didn't feel it here in Orange County, but...
...there was certainly a noticeable tremor in your neck of the woods, according to the USGS:

14. That's what I like about DU.
I can get an answer to "did you feel that?" faster here than any place else.

21. The best radio coverage of SoCal earthquakes has always been KFWB.
It's a free online feed. Just GOOGLE KFWB 980 and it will come right up. Then click on "Listen Live"

23. We just had another big tremor!
Will check the web sites to see what it was again. This had to be close to 5 again if it was in Mexicali.
