Easter Earthquake in Mexico
The 7.2 earthquake centered in Mexicali earlier today was felt at El Sauzal Orphanage. What happened at El Sauzal? According to Roy Ketring:
The Orphanage did not suffer any damage from the earthquake and everyone there is OK. It was fairly strong there. They way Josue explained it I believe it was much stronger than what we felt here in Orange County and it was pretty strong here.
Josue told me that the Ensenada fire department reported there was no damage there as well.
We are concerned however about some of Josue’s family in Mexicali and one of our kids who grew up at the Orphanage who also lives in Mexicali with her family. We call her “Beba.” Josue has not been able to get through to her on the phone.
