Strong quake hits US-Mexico border
A strong earthquake south of the US-Mexico border has shaken high-rise buildings in downtown Los Angeles and San Diego and was felt across southern California and Arizona.
The US Geological Survey said the 6.9 magnitude quake struck in Baja California, Mexico, about 19 miles south-east of Mexicali, at an area that has been hit by magnitude 3.0 quakes all week.
The earthquake rattled buildings on the west side of Los Angeles and in the San Fernando Valley, interrupting Easter dinners. Chandeliers swayed and wine jiggled in glasses.
Tremors were felt as far away as Phoenix.
There were no initial reports of damage in the San Diego area.
