USGS reporting two within nine minutes; a 6.2 and a 6.9.

People in BOLA must have felt this pretty good, if it woke us all up over here about 100+ miles away.

That was a good foot massage last night. It was actually 2 seperate quakes 9 minutes apart, not one lasting 9 minutes. No damage that I have heard about yet on the vhf radio. I am going into town in alittle bit so I will check it out.

Sounds like most of them slept through it, eh? Or went right back to sleep.

Yes, I felt one, at about 1:15 a.m., a jerk toward the south and then a long, gentle, east west roll. I don't think anything here would have fallen, unless already on the very verge of collapsing. This is the second I have felt in nine years.

Wow! ...that was kinda fun. On our way to Punta Chivato we stayed in Malarrimo in Guererro Negro last night and woke up around midnight to feel the bed shaking. My wife said it wasnt an earthquake cause the window shades werent shaking.....THEN a few minutes later the bed started shaking again and kept getting stronger. it went on for a loooooong time. Couldnt go back to sleep waiting for the tsunami...:wow::lol:

That one would have been difficult to sleep through, at least here in BoLA. No chatter on the radio so I am assuming no damage.

if you had enough beers you could sleep through it. a few years ago i was at my place in bola when one hit and it threw me off the bed into the hallway. i thought my buddies were screwing with me.

LarryC, this is the third quake I can remember from that area in the last year or so and in all cases, the USGS is referencing it as occurring near Santa Isabel. I'm not aware of any community or rancho named that out there. Where does that name come from?

No idea, their map must show some rancho or something out in the desert. I know the area pretty well and I do not know of a Santa Isabel. From looking at the usgs coordinates it appears the epicenter was pretty near the southern end of Angel Is. about 15 to 20 miles from here. The last big quake here was in the summer of 09, and it was also a 6.9. I wasn't here for that one, but this one was a really good shaker. It took me almost 20 minutes to go back to sleep.:lol:
