MSNBC - Quake physically moved city ... a bit
MSNBC reports: "The strong Easter earthquake physically moved the border city of Calexico. NASA data released Wednesday revealed the magnitude-7.2 quake shifted the Calexico region up to 2 1/2 feet in a southerly direction [...] It's not uncommon for massive quakes to move cities. After the magnitude-8.8 Chile quake earlier this year, the city of Concepcion rolled at least 10 feet to the west."
