It's still not showing on the monitors.
Only 2 seconds, eh ?
Are you sure your over-70 neighbors weren't celebrating their anniversary !

A rumor is going about that the 6.3 earthquake epicentered 55 miles NE of La Paz a few weeks ago caused the walls of one of the large buildings on
Mogote to move out of alignment and one end of the building to sink. How significant the movement and sinking were I've no idea.
Does anyone know if this is true and is there more information available on another thread, perhaps?

There was definitively a movement but not significant, we were all getting going for bicycling this morning to enjoy the cool morning on the malecon
in la paz and the neighborhood shook and everyone in our group reported the same shuddering feeling. Though it was not reported anywhere, since we do
not have measuring devices here, I am reporting officially here we had a tremblor of about 2-3 at 6:30am. I consider any small tremblor a good sign of
release of pressure. So lets celebrate.

We've had a couple tremors here too last week which kind of alarmed people here cause it was around this time last year our nasty quakes
began...release of pressure is good!

The Mexican site reported the quake as a 4.5, about 6 miles north of Todos Santos.

No mention of any quake activity here on the USGS site.
A 3.1 magnitude quake in Wyoming is listed, but doubt you could have felt it here.

no need to change, i stick with what works for me. really this had to be a 5. something it was very violent with a loud rumble also, and to early for
patrons to really be at their peak !

Was just kidding.
Mulegena also mentioned this quake in a different post.
Makes me wonder how come it didn't make the USGS list.
