16.TIJUANA,Mexico-A powerful earthquake swayed (摇动) buildings from Los Angeles to Tijuana,killing two people in Mexico,blacking out cities and forcing the evacuation (疏散) of hospitals and nursing homes.One California city closed off its downtown due to unstable buildings.The 7.2-magnitude quake centered just south of the US border near Mexicali was one of the strongest earthquakes to hit region in decades.
"It sounds like it's felt by at least 20million people,"USGS seismologist Lucy Jones said."Most of Southern California felt this earthquake."
Sunday afternoon's earthquake hit hardest in Mexicali,a commerce center along Mexico's border with California,where authorities said the quake was followed by at least 20smaller aftershocks,including ones of magnitudes 5.1,4.5and 4.3.
"It has not stopped trembling in Mexicali,"said Baja California state Civil Protection Director Alfredo Escobedo on Monday.
Escobedo said one man was killed when his home collapsed just outside of Mexicali and another died when he rushed into the street in panic and was struck by a car.At least 100people were injured in the city,most of them struck by falling objects.Power was out in virtually the entire city.
Susan Warmbier was putting away groceries in the San Diego suburb of Chula Vista when her husband asked,"Is the house moving?"
Elsewhere in San Diego,there were reports of shattered windows,broken pipes and water main breaks in private buildings,but no reports of injuries,San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque said.Coronado Bridge over San Diego Bay was briefly closed as a precaution.
Across the border in Tijuana,Mexico,the quake caused buildings to sway and knocked out power in some areas.No tsunami warning was issued,but hundreds of people on Tijuana's crowded beach feared the worst and fled when they felt the ground shake.
