7.2级墨西哥北部地区"北加"地震
今天是复活节,Easter!本来是个休假的日子,周末美国人都出去到海边或者室外BBQ了。天,我在屋内打游戏,突然感觉到屋子摇晃厉害,因为住在山上,以为大型卡车路过这边引起摇晃属于正常,但是持续5分钟越来越厉害,让人感到恐怖。
顾不上考虑了,赶紧从3楼冲到楼下,已经看到不少人在外面了,大家似乎并没有确认是地震,所以相互问是不是地震,有人说当然是了,刚说到的时候,两次有感小地震又开始了,所以我们大家说还是呆在外面看看情况再进到HOUSE.
过了10分钟后回家打开电视,CNN已经在报道墨西哥北部发生7.2级地震,加州这边4.0和4.1两个震中距离我们居住的地方并不是很远,难怪有如此强烈的震感。天,自从去年到今年,全世界大大小小的地震频繁活动,我真不想提那个《2012》电影。
现在我呆在一楼(随时准备撤离)更新博客,手边多了2瓶水和一些零食,准备假如有什么意外,至少我可以熬过20天。:)
目前知道地震消息的人很少,我看了看国内的新闻,大网站还没有更新消息,墨西哥那边肯定有房屋倒塌和伤亡,目前还不清楚多少人死伤,准备继续更新图片和消息。
红色为墨西哥7.2地震中心,两处红色小方块为美国加州南部地震中心区,从图上看,距离相当近。
地震发生地带为美国和墨西哥边境区域,居然从南加州一直到洛杉矶都有震感,San Diego感觉非常强烈。
MEXICO CITY — A powerful earthquake Monday shook fishing villages along Mexico's Gulf of California and prompted alarm as far away as Phoenix, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The U.S. National Earthquake Information Center said the 6.9-magnitude quake struck at 12:59 p.m. (1:59 EDT, 17:59 GMT) and was centered 76 miles north-northeast of Santa Isabel in Baja California and 331 miles southeast of the border city of Tijuana.
It was the strongest of four quakes of 5.0-magnitude or greater that struck the area over a 45-minute period late Monday morning.
Phoenix Fire Department spokesman Alex Rangel said a high-rise near downtown shook violently enough that workers evacuated, but there were no reports of injuries or damage. The quake was centered about 460 miles from Phoenix.
Wilfredo Rivera, a manager at the Posada Santa Gemma hotel in Bahia Kino near the coast, said doors slammed as the ground rocked.
新闻本来说是6.9级,一个小时后确定是7.2级。
预告2-3天内还有地震。
