California 7.2 Earthquake

Easter Sunday, a day for family, friends, and oh yeah, earthquakes. This 7.2 magnitude earthquake was located in the Mexicali area of Mexico, but was felt throughout most of southern California as well. It was just 6 miles below the surface. Mexicali was hit the worst, sustaining much structural damage because of older building codes. There have been as many as two dozen aftershocks since that quake, but only one casualty has been reported.
