"The cement cracked"------
-----always a sure sign that something BIG is going on.
Fasinating!!!!! I am jealous----wish I was there to witness this stuff.
Stay cool, and keep reporting---------love it. I am looking out my window at Shasta Volcano to the north, and Lassen Volcano to the east, but they
are doing NOTHING-------

Caltech say no earthquakes in Baja. Is it possible that there might be some mining operations in the area? 
 If so, they might be blasting. This would give you that "Booming"
effect.

So I checked all those sites and nada! Last night there were 2 more which makes 5 yesterday. "And whoa it's freaky with the very big boom that sounded
like a bomb going off or very loud thunder with shaking. Peole are very frightened here as they have never experienced anything like that before. It
was kinda funny as people were all outside their houses and lots slept in their cars...my sister in law slept in the lower bunk so the top bunk would
protect her if the roof fell in!! the last one was at 1;00 in the
morning. Today folks reported a few roofs and cement wall cracked and moved etc. The belief is that it is the volcano farting....everyone is very
tense and they are looking for some info and advice...should they be prepared just in case of tidal wave??? I lent some real scared ladies some life
jackets...I must admit, I prepared an emergency pack last night thinking about all the Mulege folks who got surprised in the middle of the night. I
reported these quakes but got no reply yet....many thanks to all of you who responded....let me know if you hear anything new.

I just heard another rumor that there have been tremors in STA. Rosalia the last few days as well???? So much for the volcano theory??? Also...not a
mining deal....too big of blasts and shakes the whole town and in the middle of the night???

This could be a really interesting thing if an undersea volcano was waking up... The lack of seismic activity registering on the normal earthquake
sites is strange.
Shari, try contacting the volcano or earthquake web sites... This could be big business as geologists and volcanolgist head your way!

Today I lent out lots of life jackets to people who can't swim and are very on edge, not many people slept last night. I reported this strange
activity to the sight mentioned but it seems pretty strange that no seismic activity has been reported here yet there are cracked walls etc. and
everyone felt it shake.

We live in Oregon and watched St Helens explode. My brother heard it in the Slocan Valley in B.C. and we who could see it could not hear it. The
acoustics of these things are really odd.
The St Helens eruption was preceded by a very long series of earthquakes increased in intensity. So it is hard at this point to determine whether
volcanic eruption or earthquakes only.
I could not find any info on the web about these quakes. The evidence certainly points to quakes and Baja is very prone to them.
It would seem that your area is experiencing an increase of seismic activity. That we know. How damaging or disruptive that activity will be only time
will tell.
Sitting where you are, on a peninsula, puts you in a vulnerable place for tidal activity. I would look at the geology of your area; see if you can
envision the highest water line that may ever possibly have been achieved. Choose a place above that as your place to escape. Be prepared to get to
that place as quickly as possible. It sounds like you have already made some plans in this way. Remember that the water goes OUT before it comes in.
If you see it go out in an unusual way, that is the time go GO! Many people are mesmerized by the sight of the sea floor emerging and lose their lives
to curiosity.
I would see if I could determine the volcanic/earthquake history in your area and plan for the worst. If the worst does not occur, then you will have
knowledge and will be prepared.
Our thoughts are with you.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area; my house lies between two major earthquake faults - the San Andreas and the Hayward. Sometimes we have
earthquakes with a big boom.
That kind often sounds like a freight train coming up the street, then making a turn and ending in a large jolting BOOM seemingly right under the
house. They're not the most common type of earthquake... but we do get 'em like that.

Are these booms happening only at night? Has anyone asked at the Military check points?
I know at my place in Utah, there were nights that we were awaken by what we thought were earthquakes. What it turned out to be was the house was on
a low level military airway. As the Government was flying training missions at night they often went super sonic and the sonic boom raised hell with
everyone. It could be the U.S. government training something new over the less populated Baja, not to pee off and tip off the American public to some
new aircraft.
I remember one night, many years ago here in California, there was a simular event to what you all have discribed. It woke up thousands of people
and the new agencys went nuts. I happened to see it as I was awake returning from a fire. It was a fast moving aircraft and left a con trail with
the tell tail "Donuts-on-a-Rope". Of course the military denied any involvment.
