The magnitude 7.2 northern Baja California earthquake of Sunday April 4th 2010, occurred approximately 40 miles south of the Mexico-USA border. It was the largest earthquake in the region since 1892. There were also several smaller aftershocks felt following the earthquake, which was felt in San Diego, Los Angeles and as far east as Phoenix and southern Nevada
Groceries fell off the shelves, and there were some power outages. A ramp to a recently completed parking garage was reportable cracked, but otherwise there was minimal damage in Yuma.
Our own yard shook the pool enough to send water sloshing over the edge and across the patio. Wish I had a picture but I was holding onto Gandolf the bird who was freaking out!

A reminder that our lives are somewhat unpredictable. I know what you were thinking but I wonder what Gandalf thought about it?
