Earthquake report? Campo Seguaro area? South of SF
Is anyone in the San Felipe area, or better yet, south of there and have a report on possible damage from yesterday's earthquake? My hubby's Dad and
step-mom live at KM32 and we haven't heard from them( although that's not uncommon). Just wondered if anyone down there could clue us in on any
possible damage or injuries. I am sure they are fine but it feels better to get more information. Their names are Mel and Maria in case you might
actually know them. Its south of Santa Maria and Percabu.
Thanks
Denise and Chris

We are in Campo Cielito Lindo, KM40 -- everything is fine -- no phone service yesterday, but email working. Just a whole lot of rocking and rolling,
for a fairly long time, or it seemed so. People who left here after quake yesterday had a hard time getting through Mexicali because of flooded
streets, but were easily able to cross the border. It should have opened again this morning at 8:00 -- there may have been a landslide at Rio Hardy
and we're checking to see if traffic is coming through from the North -- but if people got to Mexicali from here after the quake, there must have been
some way to get through. We have felt no after shocks, yet!

We're in South Campos, KM40 -- it lasted forever, or so it seemed and was quite strong -- but no visible damage to homes here. Also, unless I slept
unusually deep last night, no aftershocks, while they are going on North and West of Mexicali.
Guests left here AFTER QUAKE and got through to Mexicali, but because of broken water lines, flooding streets, it took them 4 hrs. to get through to
the border -- and they crossed without a problem. Traffic is coming from the North, past El Dorado - but don't know if they are coming from the
Ensenada turnoff or Mexicali. Hear the road would be at it's worst near Rio Hardy -- waiting for family to drive through and will give an update as
soon as we get one.

Mexicali-San Felipe road update - gaps in the road at La Puerta and a bridge collapsed somewhere between here and Mexicali, but traffic is coming
through. Don't know if it's one of the new bridges or old, but they have re-routed traffic where there are problems.

Plan to head south from Calif. tomorrow morning thanks for last report on highway, sounds like reports are pretty clear that south bound traffic is
making it through Mexicalli to SF. All new updates are appreciated.

Dan, if you are in San Diego, maybe go south through Ensenada and then over to San Felipe on Hwy. 3... Avoid all the damaged areas Mexicali to La
Ventana on Hwy. 5.

Idiot Reporting Award
Has to go to the Blond Bimbo on CNN for her "Educational" comment:
"Another problem to worry about is called Liquefaction. That's where the WATER inside the building or structure weakens it and it
collapses".
Obviously, someone handed her a paper to read which she didn't comprehend.
The Obama-looking news guy thanked her for her contribution.
Runner-up might be the same gal, who when informed that there was another reported quake in Imperial, California, searched her computer screen until
she Found it next to Fresno.
The KCBS babe deserves a mention for her comment regarding a report from Aliso Viejo.
"Well, that's in Southern Orange County which is near San Diego County which is near the epicenter so it's understandable that it would be felt so
strong there".
Unlike the Boobs at CNN, she didn't have the excuse that she knew nothing about Southern California.

Remember, for San Diego/ L.A. and north Nomads... You can get to San Felipe by driving south to Ensenada then east on Hwy. 3 (Ojos Negros, Valle de
Trinidad)... Puts you on Hwy. 5 about 31 miles north of San Felipe and that avoids the hard hit area and damages reported from Mexicali to La Ventana
on Hwy. 5.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, ONLY EAST GATE OPEN!!! Calexico gate closed until inspection completed for damage -- check BORDER CROSSING TIMES on bing or google
later today or in the morning to make sure you can get through. If you've never used East gate -- drive through to main road; NOVENA, MAKE A LEFT;
TURN RIGHT AT THE SECOND LIGHT (CETYS);
TURN LEFT AT THE NEXT LIGHT, ABOUT A MILE, ; CARRANZA --
THAT WILL TAKE YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE SAN FELIPE HIGHWAY (about 7 miles) ON THE SOUTH END OF MEXICALI.
MAKE A RIGHT, AND YOUR ON YOUR WAY -- VERY EASY.
If you want to do any shopping in Mexicali at Costco, etc., the last turn would be to your right, as at this point you're already out of town for the
most part.

I'm very interested in the Playa Hermosa / Bahia Santa Maria area. Those houses are made of brick and would like to know how they held up?

No problems
in the Bahia Santa Maria area. Our homes rocked and rolled and we beat feet to get outside. No damage but a little scary at the time.

we felt it pretty good here in Vicente Guerrero. 30 years here never felt an earthquake here. we have a large group of 150 camping from Modesto Ca.
and a Groupof 60 from Canada. We just finished washing all the underwears so everyone is fine now. had some scared kids.
couple things fell off the shelves. but nothing to bad.
My kids had never felt an earthquake. I grew up in Los Angeles and was there for the northridge.
We are pretty lucky on this one here in baja that big and not as much damage as could have been.

Hey Bajalady!
can you guess who this is?
Do you have any reports regarding the road closure at La Ventana? Is is open yet? I'm stuck in LA and really want to get home! Was thinking of
crossing at San Luis and bypassing the mess in Mexicali, but that won't help if the road is closed at LA Ventana

Good news Rob... I suppose the local 'party line' radio has quite a bit of reporting going on? Can you find out the conditions of Mel and Marina at
Campo Saguaro (next to Nuevo Mazatlan) for BajaGato (top of thread)?
