Definitely Felt The Plumas County Earthquake

Packed a punch near the epicenter:

Plumas County residents were getting back to normal this morning after a 5.7 magnitude earthquake last night shook up the area around Lake Almanor.

The temblor struck at 8:47 p.m. Thursday and was centered near Greenville, about 25 miles southwest of Susanville in far northeastern California. No major damage was reported.

..."I have open shelves in the kitchen and everything came down on the tile floor, so shards were everywhere," she said. "Lost lots of sentimental antique dishes, etc. from family. But it's only stuff. Lots of work for the shop vac."

..."It was definitely more than anything I have ever felt in the area," said Tucker. "It lasted for awhile. It just kept going. It sounded like a train going through the house."

..."We had some wine and liquor bottles break," he said. "This 5.7 was pretty solid. And we had aftershocks going all night. I didn't get much sleep because I kept feeling one every 15 minutes."

..."The good part is that the earthquake did not occur in a densely populated area," he said.

...Pacific Gas & Electric told AP about 660 customers lost power on the southwestern edge of Lake Almanor.

"We were reminded last night who's really in charge, and it's not us," said Plumas County Supervisor Kevin Goss, who represents Greenville and the east shore of Lake Almanor.
