Hahahaha.
Yeah, that was a pretty good one- either 6.9 or 7.2, depending on who you believe. We were rockin' and rolling' down here in SD for maybe 20 seconds. Got another one a minute or two later, but it was just a quick "thump."

Interesting info.
One guy down in Mexicali (which is in MX) was killed when his house collapsed, and a parking garage also came down south of the border. Here in CA, we had some broken glass, power went down for a few hours in a couple of remote areas, some dude got hit on the head by the sign from a car wash which fell down, a couple of really old buildings in downtown Calexico (which is in CA) are a little beaten up, and a piece of masonry fell out of the facade around one of the columns in front of the Vons' supermarket down the street from here. The damage at our place was limited to a bottle of beer which tipped over, partially spilling its contents onto the table. This was from a 7.2 magnitude earthquake.
The quake that hit Haiti recently was only a 7.0.

Ever taken a good look at the construction of your average porch on an East-coats trailer home?
It makes my projects look like Cheyenne Mountain.
