7.2 Quake Hits California

A 7.2 earthquake hit Baja California at 3:40 p.m. that was felt from Tijuana and Los Angeles to Las Vegas and Phoenix.

There is substantial damage in the older section of the southeastern California city. There is structural damage, leaking gas lines, water system damage and plenty of broken windows. So far, no injuries have been reported.

It was the largest earthquake in the area in 18 years and was followed by aftershocks on both sides of the border, according to a U.S. Geological Survey seismologist.
