Quake rattles southwestern US Tijuana – A deadly magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck northwestern Mexico on Sunday, rocking buildings as far away as Arizona and southern California, as a string of aftershocks rattled the US and Mexican Pacific Coast. Emergency workers struggled to respond to damage and injuries after the tremor knocked out power, damaged water lines and snarled traffic. In the border city of Mexicali, located 60km from the tremor’s epicenter, a man was killed when his home collapsed on top of him, Mexican rescue workers told AFP. Another person was killed after running out from a home and being hit by a car in Mexicali, where 100 people were injured during the quake, Mexico’s director of civil protection Alfredo Escobedo told CNN. Roads cracked, telephone poles were toppled and sides were ripped off buildings in Mexicali, a city of 900 000 inhabitants that serves as the capital of Baja California state. “This is a large quake with the potential of causing damage because it is not far from a population center,” said Carlos Valdez, director of the National Seismological Service. A firefighter at a station just outside Mexicali told the Los Angeles Times that fires caused by the quake destroyed at least six homes after damaging propane tanks and severing electricity lines. Several homes near the Cerro Prieto volcano some 31km from the quake’s epicenter sank into the group as water rose up around them, according to the firefighter, Oscar Silas. US and Mexican …

  • LauryKOS

    @Chammy92243 exactly!!! D’: , here in Mexicali with a 7.2 earthquake ppl couldn’t stand up, and buildings almost got destroyed D:

  • Chammy92243

    that is one well designed building to withstand that kind of shaking

  • AlbiorixGallic

    very true what you say, is not the first nor the last of such magnitude …. Good luck this year …. …

  • AlbiorixGallic

    muy cierto lo que dices, no es el primero ni será el último de este tipo de magnitudes…. para este año….Suerte…

  • Demoesceptico

    Y el terremoto que sufrimos en febrero no es el primero ni será el último de ese tipo de magnitudes.

  • Demoesceptico

    @AlbiorixGallic Eso no es así. Siempre está temblando… a cada instante y a lo largo y ancho del mundo. Que tu no tomes conciencia de ello es problema aparte. Toma en cuenta además que la información hoy es más e instantánea, no como en otras épocas. En mi país, Chile, por ejemplo, siempre tiembla… pero apenas nos damos cuenta.

    Finally, the video showing this cut that lasts longer and is still moving strong.

  • ceuflopi

    I also want to say that the video corresponds to a hotel valdivia about 452 km approx. of conception Chile.

  • ceuflopi

    I’m Chilean and I experienced the 2010 earthquake. It was a terrifying experience, not the wish on anyone..

    Chile Force and other countries in a few months also have been living earthquakes of lesser magnitudes.
    What is it that this happening?
    Now shakes northern Chile and has nothing to do with the earthquake that live in the south…

    Fuerzaaaaaaa chile!!!!

  • kierolelo

    @200000anthony tus padres deben estar “orgullosos” por “la cosa” que criaron…

  • madonnaweboboy

    KE HORROR !!!!!!!!!.ESO es en Chle verdad ???. saludos desde Mexicali, Baja California.

  • AlbiorixGallic

    A verdade é um desastre natural, o que não é natural é que ocorrem com freqüência. Por exemplo, os terremotos no Haiti, Chile, Turquia, Taiwan, Índia, Indonésia, Baja California, e agora na China, a minha pergunta é o que está acontecendo?

  • AlbiorixGallic

    La verdad, es un desastre natural, lo que no es natural es que ocurran seguido. Por ejemplo, terremotos de haiti, chile, turquia, taiwan, india, indonesia, baja california, y ahora en china, mi pregunta que es lo que esta sucediendo?

  • AlbiorixGallic

    The truth is a natural disaster, what is not natural is it occurring often. For example, earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, Turkey, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Baja California, and now in China, my question is what is happening?

  • 2008davidcr

    This is amazing video. Everyone in it was fearing for their life!! Hugging or holding on to something to keep from falling or being killed. PRAISE GOD FOR KEEPING THEM SAFE and not toppling the whole building. These people will later in life know how to help other people when the next big quake hits.

  • juako70mastes
