The Stone Moved
It's Easter, but I was at work, because the firm doesn't give official holidays on Sundays, when only a handful of staff are required to work.
So I was on the 16th floor of a high-rise in downtown LA when a 7.2 earthquake hit northern Mexico. It was pretty minor in LA, but it was my first tremor in the high rise, and we were swaying enough that we temporarily evacuated.
But getting home, I'm still shocked (though I suppose I shouldn't be), that two hours later, all of the English-language news sources on Google News are still reporting the story as: "No damage to Los Angeles or San Diego." Spanish-language sources are a bit better, but far fewer (and I have a harder time finding and maneuvering them). The difference in interest and information on either side of the border is as tall, sharp, and treacherous as the Cliffs of insanity.
If anyone has links to information around Mexicali, links would be appreciated.
