As far as I can tell, no one felt anything here in Penasco.

Just off the shore of Puerto Libertad, according to this map:

Oops, just a bit north of PL, rather.

What is the name of that little fishing community in the tip just above Puerto Libertad? I'm drawing a blank. It's at 30.268528, -112.863986 on google maps.

Nevermind, Puerto Lobos is what I was looking at. Very close to the epicenter.

I felt it, just the lamps swinging a little and a little disorientation.
