I knew it was pretty big because the earthquake made me dizzy, but I didn't realize it was a 6.9.

Lucky for LA it hit much further south, but I hope nobody got hurt.

6.9

Location

32.093°N, 115.249°W

Depth

32.3 km (20.1 miles)

BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO

Distances

26 km (16 miles) SSW (211°) from Guadalupe Victoria, Baja California, Mexico

This felt like the one that hit the Bay Area in 1989, but not as intense obviously. Wave-like.

Man, they do freak me out a little now. Sammy, my cat freaked and hid under the bed. And like a true Internet geek, I was trying to twitter about it as I felt it.
