I heard it too. It rattled the windows in the house. I was just bracing for the jolting but it never came. Being from the Orient, noise like that is
usually accompanied or followed by an earthquake.

Right at 4:00 p.m. today at least my area of Ensenada was rocked with what sounded like an explosion. Right now I hear all kinds of sirens. I live in
Valle Dorado just south of downtown.
Anyone else hear or feel it? |

Earthquake, not really. Top secret? Not now. It was the Sinaloa cartel blasting the tunnel to the border all the way from Culiacan. I heard it was a
b-tch going under the Sea of Cortez.

no, it was NOT dynamite and if LL heard it in Valle Dorado --- well we live right next door to Punta Brava....and it was like a whisper, but
noticeable.
Anyway, there was a brief and incomplete article in El Vigia yesterday which talked about all the environmental issues with Punta Brava. There was a
big pow wow on Monday with the developers and whoever (which I gather were all actually media people) to address these issues.
"Woods and crew" were not running up and down Punta Banda via hellos; Tiger made ONE trip to the location via helicopter and then went off to a golf
tourney. Yes, the desal plant is already in place.
What is your source that the Ejido has already begun "retraction of agreements"? Which Ejido? What agreements?
You're right, LL, sounds a lot like u no hoo.

Ejido greedo
Campo 7 has, from what I understand, made offers that can't be refused. I talked with a friend who had to move to the other side of the road a "trade
of property" and another person further up the hill was made a offer for moneys she had put into her property. The one comment that was made, as I
was told was , "you better read your agreement." The implication was the paper one recevied for the property purchased/leased in Campo 7 was
worthless.
As most know dealing with an Ejido is very dicey to say the least. And lets face it Punta Banda was only a few years ago.
Recently new Cantu real estate experts are getting excited about this proposed concept.

Yeah, I'm used to a bit more quaking during earthquakes. A part of me was a bit disappointed.

I don't see any earthquakes in the Esenada area for the the 16th at 4 PM, or even within a day of that. Maybe those other sources are worthy of
reconsideration.

Then again, maybe it was. The rock quarry above the golf course, closer to Valle Dorado than Punta Banda, blows up the hillside frequently.

Dennis....when I was down in November, the quarry had been shud down for a while. I don't know if it started up recently.
Whenever we had been there, I never heard any blasting. I don't think a blast or shock wave would propogate that far as people are reporting.
But that's just my 2 cents worth!!!!

OK...Lets see. hmmmmm...oh yeah. We can hear the Army base in Chapultepec when they are firing for practice. It's loud and clear. Perhaps they've
upped the caliber.
Or...Has anyone here ever heard a propane tank explosion? It's scarey loud and I've heard and seen the damage from two of these. It happens.

this is exactly how our earthquakes began here in Asuncion a couple years ago...I heard a big explosion...I ran outside and expected to see the
fishing coop in flames or something.....but there was nothing. The next day I asked a few people and they too ran outside to see something on
fire....nada...then there was another "eplosion" a few days later and the rest is history. After the first few explosion types the shaking began in
earnest! And nothing showed up on any seizmic apparatus either...because there arent any of this stuff down here...once they came and set some
up...they showed up and we had up to 50-300 tremors a day!!! It was a very quiet christmas around here that year as most people went elsewhere to cook
their turkeys.
