Baja Mexico Earthquakes Felt In Downtown San Diego

A 6.9 magnitude quake struck 358 miles southeast of Tijuana on Monday, just minutes after the same area was shaken by a 5.8 magnitude tremblor, according to the United States Geological Survey. People felt shaking in downtown San Diego, according to reports made to 10News.

Scientists said there’s no tsunami threat to the West Coast and Hawaii following the two earthquakes that struck minutes apart in Mexico’s Gulf of California.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the first temblor with a preliminary magnitude of 5.8 hit the Gulf of California at 10:55 a.m. PDT Monday. It was followed about five minutes later by a magnitude-6.9.
