A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck Southern California on Tuesday evening, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The quake was centered 18 miles west-southwest of El Centro, California,
just north of Mexicali in Mexico's Baja California, the USGS said. It struck at
a depth of 6.3 miles.
"This earthquake is within the aftershock zone of a magnitude 7.2 (earthquake) that occurred on April 4" near Mexicali, said Susan Potter of the USGS. "This is an area that was exposed to many large earthquakes in the past."
At least two people were killed and 100 injured in the April 4 quake.
I guess Joe^^ is GOD, lol...
Doesn't anyone know their geography? The quake occured in the Imperial Valley. I was working in El Centro and sure as heck felt it.
Didn't feel anything here in Southeast Los Angeles County. I hope everyone is safe!
If there is a 9.0, the epicenter to that one will most likely be close to LA.
why does it have to be LA? it can happen almost anywhere along the eastern pacific rim. the san andreas fault is only PART of the ring of fire. stop making ridiculous assumptions people...
and I guess aguest is a racist moron.
just kidding joe.
Why does racism have to play into an act of god. LEE DAVIS seems to think that this earthquake "will keep the mexicans home" . I bet his brain is about the size of his penis, almost nothing there. Idiot!!
"act of god"? I like "natural occurrence".
Boy , what are y-all smokin down there?, Iam up here in Seattle, didn't fell a thing :-0
seems like someone up north has the better "stuff".
I've got some wonderful Grand Daddy Purple nicely shredded up packed in my vaporizer, what about you?
That's some northern CA stuff, I heard that after legalization, mendocino county will be the napa valley of pot.
I'm on my way, Joe. I'll pay for your booze, take you and your woman out to eat.
You need some GDP efrain. All of the racists using the news of an earthquake to launch their idiotic opinions on immigration need it. It would be nice for all of the racists to be too couchlocked to hobble over to the computer and troll around the net.
love that Seattle humor!
did not feel it in ny!
did not feel it in FL either
didnt feel it in SD
um...did not feel it in SoCal either – that's the point! It was a little one!
Yeah! Right on the border, maybe you fools will fall in the ocean! TRADERS!!! GO ARIZONA~
I wouldn't hold my breath Lisa, Arizona is going to cave in to all the boycotts, just like they did when they did not want to acknowledge Martin Luther King day.
Uh, do you mean traitors? What a fool
Call it whatever you want....what did Hoover call it? Oh ya, Operation Wetback~
You, my dear, are an ignorant bigot...I don't think money is your valid reason for "no college for white folks"...You can't even bloody spell!
Lisa, you can't even spell....go back to school and try again...
Bigot? Oh darn, that hurts! You poor, poor, federal offenders want to turn this into a race game? Im up for that! I have been called a whole lot worse, from a whole lot better, and if being proud of my race and my country makes me a bigot, so be it. This is still my country and I am still here legally! What's your excuse?
Im here more legally than you...Im a Native American...and I'm sure you've heard worse things than this..not surprised....keep up the good work of a proud American! I'm sure you're making others proud.
haha, from the same person that was complaining she can't get into college because of illegal immigrants. Sorry dear, it has nothing to do with your skin color but rather the size of your brain.
its probably the second go around,so get ready.
not likely, but if you bet and one, you'd be a millionaire.
A Cleric in Iran just announced that the earthquake struck as a result of LA's support for illegal immigrants in Arizona.
He said it is God's way of scaring them back to Mexico.
A cleric would not use the word "God" they would say "Allah".
you stupid..earthquake didint happen in L.A., read again, if you can. And Arizona has its up-commings...yeah!
efrain your right! A cleric would have said Allah.
Think again when it comes to illegals using the internet. They are steeling health care, maybe they are accessing your wireless too. They are not as stupid as Patty thinks I am.
Patty read your response to me (you stupid) then read again. I never said it happened in LA. Now you stupid!
Theyll stone ya when your walkin to the door ! Bob Dylan
Everybody must get stoned! Bob Dylan

Yep, I felt the rattle in san diego. Pretty short, but was enough to make me pause for a minute to see if I really was feeling what I thought I was. Nothing shook on the table or anything.
