Didn't feel it, however , Baja California is an active seismic zone.

There are many faults lines as it moves north and away from the mainland.

I am frankly suprised that we don't have a major event.

we don't get major events because we have lots of miner ones. the plats don't bind up on the fault until just north of the gulf of Ca..
