Thought you might like to see these photos a viewer sent me.
The photos were taken near Yuma after the Mexicali 7.2-magnitude quake. The earthquake stuck at 3:40 p.m. with an epicenter about 19 miles southeast of Mexicali. Mexicali is a bustling commerce center on the Mexican side of the border where trucks carrying goods cross into California. More than 900,000 people live in the greater Mexicali area.
It was the largest earthquake in the region in nearly 18 years and was followed by about 500 aftershocks or distant "triggered" earthquakes on both sides of the border.
