Very large Earthquake in San Diego...lasted a long time.
I’m 70 miles NE in southern Riverside county (Murrietta).
It lasted at least 10 seconds or a little longer.
The house was noticeably moving.
My hanging lamps are still shaking. What was weird is that there was no noise at all, I just kinda felt like I was dizzy and the house was moving. Lasted about 2 minutes.
They just added this:
5 minutes ago 6.9 Baja California, Mexico Map
Felt it in North San Diego county. Lasted probably 30 seconds to a minute and seemed to come in two distinct waves. First one smaller, second larger. Rattled windows and dishes in the china cabinet, shook the chandelier. Definitely could feel it throughout the house. Almost strong enough to knock things over on the desk, but not quite.
Felt it here in the San Fernando Valley too. Very long.
Felt it up here in OC. Close to a four up here it seemed.
WOW.
That went on for sometime. At least it felt like it did.

Just felt an after shock about 20 secs ago.
Another little one just now
Our den door began to move back and forth. A chandelier in our family room began swinging. I was worried about it being a problem with the house, but our pool water was sloshing.
We’re in Phoenix.
TY for the info...just felt an aftershock.
