i'm sure you Socal guys felt it but as of approx 3:28pm, a 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook many portains of Socal including San diego. The epicenter was 30 miles westof Tijuana. Also, a minute later, a 4.7 magnitude quake rocked the Mojave Desert, 11 miles from Edwards AFB.
Actually, there was only one earthquake. It was a 5.2 and located about 35 miles SW of San Diego (almost due west of Rosarito, MX). USGS stated that since there are no sensors in the area of the quake, the existing sensors had a hard time figuring out where the quake was and so they were showing the Mojave quake also.
It was an interesting ride. I work on the second floor of a three-story building. The initial jolt moved my chair. Our first thought was that a vehicle had hit the building. But since the floor continued to shake for some time (about 5 seconds) we realized it was a quake and started to grab the radios. I work for the County, and in a disaster we are automatically disaster workers. We wanted to be sure that we weren't staying at work.
Brother Steve, Are you ok? I heard the info about the earthquakes from the C.O. I am still on the boat for another 3 months. Friday, we'll be in Victoria, Canada for a few days then ventures towards Hawaii after that. The last few weeks, we were in Northern Alaska participating on an exercise.
