A major 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck near the Mexico-California border on April 4, killing at least one person.
The relatively shallow quake was centered in a lightly populated area in northeastern Baja California near the city of Mexicali on the U.S. border, knocking out power in chunks of the city and cutting off most phone communications.
The U.S. Geological Survey, or USGS, originally measured the quake as 6.9 but later raised it to 7.2, a magnitude that can cause serious damage to urban areas. It also revised the depth of the quake to 6.2 miles (10 km) from 20 miles.
