1. Yeah -- details:
SAN DIEGO - Two strong earthquakes in the Gulf of California, off the coast of Baja, were felt all the way to San Diego Monday morning.

A magnitude 6.9 earthquake hit near Santa Isabel, Baja California, Mexico at 11:00 Monday morning. Just five minutes earlier a 5.8 magnitude earthquake was felt in the same general area.

The epicenter of the strongest quake was 354 miles southeast of Tijuana. The 5.8 magnitude quake was centered 328 miles southeast of Tijuana.

There were several reports of people in downtown San Diego feeling slight shaking in tall buildings. Scientists say there's no tsunami threat to the West Coast and Hawaii following the earthquakes.

2. Felt it...
And the aftershocks...

I'm on the 39th floor of a 60+ story tall building in Downtown Los Angeles... we feel flea hiccups up here... this one really set us to swaying for a very long time.

4. Seems the beach areas, north and south, feel it more strongly...
I know I do at home! I'm just north of Seal Beach. I have heavy fobs hanging from ceiling fans... our eyes go directly to them whenever we think we've felt something.
