Strong quake kills 2 in Mexico, rattles US states

TIJUANA, Mexico — A powerful earthquake swayed buildings from Los Angeles to Tijuana, killing two people in Mexico, blacking out cities, forcing the evacuation of hospitals and nursing homes, and prompting a California border town to shut down its downtown area.Items fallen from the shelves litter the aisles inside a grocery store in downtown Calexico, Calif. after an earthquake struck the area Sunday, April 4, 2010. The 7.2-magnitude quake struck at 3:40 p.m. about 19 miles southeast of Mexicali, a bustling commerce center on the Mexican side of the border where trucks carrying goods cross into California.
