The US Geological Survey is reporting that a strong
Magnitude 6.3 earthquake has struck on the San Andreas fault, in the
Gulf of California in Mexico. The quake took place at a very shallow
depth of only 10km and was widely felt.
Persons in southern California are
now strongly cautioned that this earthquake has jarred the main
fault-line which travels through California, likely disturbing seismic
balances in the entire region, making a major earthquake in southern California quite likely within the next 24 hours.
