WOW, those images are breath taking, absolutely amazing. This hole where the water came from is incredible. I am glad we have not had anything near that strength here in Northern IL. Those images of the mountains are really cool.
Best Wishes,

You couldn't be any closer to the epicenter and still be in the US. Needless to say, this was the strongest earthquake that I've experienced.

The mountain to the south of us in Baja (which I call "Signal Mountain") was covered in a cloud of dust. Images of this phenomenon were shown on the local San Diego TV News stations (still looking for a link of this image - my images were too obscured by dust).
