Baja's Fault
Many people who live near California’s San Andreas Fault anticipate the “big one,” a massive earthquake that could leave behind severe and long-lasting devastation. One of those unexpected earthquakes rattled remote portions of southern California and Mexico’s Baja California on April 4, 2010. The El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake caused extensive damage to the city of Mexicali, displacing more than 35,000 people and demolishing the surrounding agricultural areas along with the roads and irrigation channels leading to them.
