earthquake june 14 2010 5.7 earthquake rattles U.S.-Mexico border region The Earthquake that hit the Californian state was measured to be 5.7 which weren’t meant to cause any serious damage.
The scoreboard at Petco Field in San Diego informs fans of an earthquake that paused the baseball game briefly between the San Diego Padres and the Toronto Blue Jays June 14, 2010.SAN DIEGO—The U.S.-Mexico border has been rocked by a magnitude-5.7 earthquake that rattled nerves in a region still recovering from the deadly Easter jolt. The quake struck at 9:26 p.m. PT Monday about 137 kilometres east of San Diego, or 8 kilometres southeast of Ocotillo in California’s Imperial County, the U.S. Geological Survey said about the Earthquakes It was an aftershock of the deadly Easter Sunday magnitude-7.2 quake that shook Baja California and Southern California, striking in the same zone, said Egill Hauksson, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
“Aftershocks can go on for months and years,” he said. Thousands of aftershocks have occurred since the Easter earthquake. More than 100 aftershocks were recorded immediately following Monday’s 5.7 quake, with the largest measuring at magnitude-4.5. A 5.7-magnitude earthquake “could break windows, it could throw things on the floor, it could create cracks on the wall, but we don’t expect things to collapse,” Hauksson said. No significant damage from Monday’s quake was reported to either the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services or the Imperial County board of supervisors. San Diego’s Petco Park swayed during the quake, causing a momentary pause at the Toronto Blue Jays-San Diego Padres baseball game. The public address announcer asked that everyone remain calm. The crowd cheered. The quake was felt as a gentle rolling motion in the Los Angeles area. It followed a series of temblors that struck Southern California over the weekend, including a pair of moderate earthquakes that rattled a desert area east of San Diego. earthquakes today Are we really safe ? weather reviews & tools: Survival Kits Online Emergency Disaster Preparedness 72 Hour Backpack Kit Earthquake, Hurricane, Fire, Flood, Tornado, Evacuation or Storm.
