Washington:
An earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale hit the Mexican
peninsula of Baja California Sunday afternoon, the US Geological
Survey said.
The depth of the strong quake was reported at at 10 km, Xinhua
reported quoting the the USGS.
The epicentre of the earthquake is located in Baja California, the
northernmost state of Mexico that boarders US state of California.
The tremor was felt in southern California and sent high-rises in
major cities like Los Angeles and San Diego rocking back and forth.
Sunday's relatively shallow quake, centred in a lightly populated
area in northeastern Baja California near the US border, was
initially reported to be 6.9 in magnitude but the US Geological
Survey later revised it to 7.2.
Media reports from San Diego, where the quake was also felt, said
there were tremors lasting between 30 seconds and a minute in the US
city.
Some buildings were reported damaged in Mexicali and there were some
minor injuries, officials said, but telephone communications were
cut off with the border city about 50km to the northwest of the
epicentre near Guadalupe Victoria, so a fuller assessment could not
yet be made.
Some people were reported trapped in elevators, retaining walls had
collapsed in some places and electricity was out in several parts of
Baja California, Alfredo Escobedo, the state director of emergency
services, said.
The area had been hit by magnitude-3.0 quakes all week and multiple
aftershocks were reported immediately after Sunday's major quake,
including a 5.1 temblor centred near the border in Imperial,
California.
