Guadalupe, Baja, Mexico The magnitude 5.4 event occurred 26 km (16 miles) NW of Guadalupe Victoria, Baja California, Mexico. The hypocentral depth is 7 km ( 4 miles).
There has been a swarm of quakes in this same spot since the one above, at least 12 so far all in the 1 to 2 range. The latest one in the last hour was a little larger and a little farther to the southwest of the large one. .
Earthquake Rocks Baja California, Leaving
400000 Without Power
February 10, 2008 AP MEXICO CITY - A moderate earthquake rocked Baja California, shutting down factories near the U.S. border and leaving 400,000 people without power into early Saturday, authorities said. However, no major damage or injuries were reported. The quake that struck at 11:12 p.m. Friday had a magnitude of 5.1, according to the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo. It had initially calculated the magnitude at 5.4. The quake was centred 25 kilometres southeast of the border city of Mexicali and 160 kilometres east of Tijuana. "It has been felt pretty widely in Southern California, southwestern Arizona and probably northern Mexico," said USGS geophysicist Jessica Sigala. It was followed by at least 25 smaller aftershocks. The quake left about 400,000 people without electricity and 1.2 million without cellular telephone service, but service was restored at around 4 a.m. local time, said Fire Capt. Rene Rosado, director of civil defence in Mexicali. About 80,000 workers were evacuated from or were unable to enter local factories for Sony, Honeywell and other major corporations, he said, but the factories had all reopened by Saturday afternoon. Two bridges showed five-to seven-centimetre cracks and were closed until engineers could determine they were safe, he said. Rescue workers were examining Mexicali schools, many of which are made of adobe, for cracks and other damage, said Alfredo Escobedo, director of Baja California civil protection. Oscar Vega, the state's education secretary, said classes were expected to resume Monday, but his department would make an announcement when it knows if the buildings are safe. http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5i-kNRnqv-itxvSY950oUV0OLeN3w

This quake is farther north than the red warning zone below, but its size is phenomenal. 6.4 and that fits the warning too. Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 5:54 PM Coastal damage from high waves, but probably not connected to quake. Manzanita, Oregon) - A magnitude 6.4 earthquake occurred off the Oregon coast Wednesday night, as high winds and rain began pummeling the region - both of which have turned out to be uneventful. At 5:37 p.m., the U.S. Geological Survey reported the quake about 151 miles off the Oregon coast. It happened at a depth of 6.2 miles, and did not warrant a tsunami warning. Police dispatchers in numerous coastal communities said they had not received any calls from people who felt the quake. The U.S. Coast Guard also reported no quake-related problems. Breakers in Manzanita on Wednesday have been enormous, thanks to high winds offshore which tend to make bigger waves well ahead of the actual storm. Seas are reaching 17 foot swells, making the frothy waves come almost up to the dunes of this normally broad, sandy beach. At around midnight on Wednesday, it is 50 degrees
with medium rain, and winds up and down the coast mostly around 25
– 40 mph. Occasional wind gusts as high as 70 mph have been
recorded in some spots.
