You couldn t be any closer to the epicenter and still be in the US. Needless to say, this was the strongest earthquake that I ve experienced. But what I saw AFTER the quake was equally amazing. Clouds of dust were rising up from most of the canyons in the nearby mountains, the result of rock-falls and possible landslides. The mountain to the south of us in Baja (which I call Signal Mountain ) was covered in a cloud of dust. Images of this phenomenon were shown on the local San Diego TV News stations (still looking for a link of this image - my images were too obscured by dust). I m wondering where the Signal Mountain iron meteorite was actually found, and whether these recent rock falls might possibly unearth additional masses of this iron? -- Bob V. _________________________________________ ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
