I have no word of injuries or damage but we were shook up by the 5.5 magnitude earthquake that struck at 1:07 pm Pacific time. It was about 18 miles east of Trinidad.
The U.S.G.S. has upgraded the quake to 5.6

ReplyDeleteThe North Coast Journal reports that Caltrans had to move about 4 yards of rocks that blocked all lanes on Highway 96. The rock slide was caused by the quake but was quickly moved and traffic was back to normal in a matter of minutes.
