Sorry, this story and particularly the headline are crap. WE didn’t even feel it here. The center of the Sea of Cortez IS one of the most active areas in Mexico, but far from most active in the world. Imperial Country in California IS, where in Earthquake Valley, just east of Anzo Borego ther eis an earthquake on an average every 78 seconds. The Sea of Cortez will someday reach to San Francisco. So it’s no big deal folks!
