The Crones' Chronicle

The epi-center of the quake struck about 70 miles from our place north of San Felipe. It was pretty frightening. We don’t know the official times, but, we could swear it lasted at least a minute plus. We were visiting our friend, Millie, over in the electric section of El Dorado Ranch when it hit. At first we thought the winds were picking up again from off of the mountains. Then, things began to shake, sway, and heave up and down. Buildings and electrical poles heaved back and forth and up and down. We are in a sparsely populated area, and the buildings are all single level. So, we didn’t experience the devastation felt in Mexicali and surrounding communities. Our place was fine. Here is a video taken at about the epicenter of quake by some people who happened to be traveling north on highway 5 when it hit. Pretty amazing footage.
