CNN Thingy said:
A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck in the Gulf of California off the Mexican coast, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.

Is this potentially serious or an FYI type thing? I'm not going to go back to CNN in a half hour and hear about a serious national disaster am I?

You have to go back right now, and fix a proper link!

The search I just did comes up with this:

It says the magnitude-6.9 quake struck at 12:59 p.m. (1:59 EDT, 17:59 GMT) and was centered 76 miles (122 kilometers) north-northeast of Santa Isabel in Baja California and 331 miles (533 kilometers)southeast of the border city of Tijuana.

There was no proper link at that moment just a yellow box. :D
 
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck off Baja California in Mexico on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake was 49 miles from Santa Isabel on the Baja California peninsula and was 9.3 miles deep, the USGS said.

Unless you were fishing 50 miles off the coast, I doubt you would have ever noticed it. :vulcan:
