Earthquake!

Today, at 3:40pm PT near Mexicali, CA (close to the border between CA, AZ, and the Baja state), there was a 7.2 magnitude quake. Since then, there were many aftershocks, four of which were greater than 5.0.

I know we felt it up in Torrance (for us, it was a "gentle" swaying for 30 seconds), and I know that those in the San Diego and Phoenix areas did too. Was anyone else surprised by it?
