Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake In Truckee, CA

At 11:45am (California time, PDT) there was an earthquake 8 miles east of Truckee, CA, with a magnitude of 4.8. I was sitting at a desk when it happened and I definitely felt it here in Sacramento, 92 miles away. According to the did you feel it map for the quake, what I felt was at an intensity level of 2 (weak shaking and no damage). I was at church so there were plenty of other people around to feel it, but no one that I asked (maybe 20 people) indicated that they had felt anything.

It has been a few years since I’ve felt an earthquake like this, if things like this didn’t have so much potential to cause harm it would be a fun ride 🙂
