Half way between Loreto and Mulege. Hope the folks at San Sebastian didn't suffer much damage.

The Baja peninsula is being uplifted. It is necessary to keep the palm trees above sea level!

Check your app store for the free QuakeFeed app. I set mine to worldwide 6.0 or greater notifications. I got the alert 5 minutes after the time in the screen shot.

We were anchored off of Burro Beach in bay of Conception. Crew reports splashing sounds along the cliff below the highway at that time, where it turns around the cliff to the north.

After further discussion, we think it was likely rockfall splashing, not fish or dolphins, as the nearest dolphins we could see were working the shoals on the islands way out in the bay, couldn't hear them that far away.

....we were camped just north of Bahia Conception that morning, so funny, thought my Gal was jumping on the bumper,,,then the Cordon's around us started to....DANCE!!!! It's pretty weird to have that, and not be able to get information until now. Makes me feel for those that live a simple life with nature,, very exposed and vulnerable to the great mum. <;~l
