Mexicali Baja earthquake caused minor damage to CAL FIRE Facilities

7.2 was the strongest recorded quake in modern times.
Mexicali Baja earthquake caused minor damage to CAL FIRE Facilities


Major damage in Mexicali; minor damage to some East County facilities
5% chance of even bigger quake in next few days - Cal Tech

Twenty million people in three U.S. states and Mexico felt Sunday's Baja California earthquake — a more powerful temblor than the Haiti quake yet the death toll and devastation were far less.
Why? Scientists say part of the answer is location, location, location.

Only about 500 people in the agricultural communities south of the growing city of Mexicali were exposed to the most violent shaking.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
