Well being not so far from the epicenter of a big quake today, about 50 miles from El Centro Ca during a hike in Imperial county, we got quite a jolt as the 7.2 mag quake hit. Rocks and boulders were moving about all around me as I attempted to run to my wife when fear for her safety overcame me. Oddly enough at the same time, I watched the rocks and boulders fall around me and was quite exhilarated at watching this earth shaping process, and I must admit I caught myself pausing to watch this ground shaking moment. Yeah, the wife was okay... I think the actual quake lasted for about 30 sec but it seemed to last much longer.
The epicenter was in Baja Ca, so still waiting to hear if anyone south of us were badly hurt.
