Quake and aftershocks hit border region again

6:53 a.m. February 20, 2008


CALEXICO: An earthquake swarm rattling for nearly two weeks under the border unleashed another jolt and numerous aftershocks yesterday.
The day's biggest quake struck at 2:41 p.m., centered in Mexico about 20 miles southeast of Calexico. No injuries or damage were reported in Imperial County, authorities said.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was a magnitude 5.0.

It was the fourth moderate quake since the swarm began Feb. 8. –A.P.

been there....done that! It is nerve racking. I feel for all of you in that area. Ours lasted months and we sort of got used to them and learned that we need to build to withstand more shakes. Interesting how they use bee related words...the small faults here were refered to as hives.

Mexicali schools closed and lots of phones out.

We were at Rio Bend RV park west of El Centro at the time. I was sitting in my truck when it started & thought Vanda was jumping up & down on the rear bumper. I yelled at her & she came running out of the rig screaming. She'd never been in a quake before. Got out of the truck & it felt just like those funhouses at the fair with the oscillating floors. I was definitely ROTFL then!!!:lol::bounce::?::tumble:

Felt about 5 aftershocks thru the afternoon & evening. What a day!!!
