6.9 Magnitude Earthquake shakes Baja California, Mexico

No damage here except for the Internet getting knocked out for a few minutes.  A quick search showed a 6.9 magnitude quake in Baja California at 3:40 pm Pacific.  A google map of the location can be found here.

Since then an aftershock has hit and a couple of smaller quakes in northern California.

Hope everyone is safe…
