Early Morning Earthquake!

Did you feel the earthquake that happened at 4:59 this morning?

I sure did! It woke me right up! Shook my house for a few seconds. Thankfully, no damage here.

It was a 4.2 magnitude quake centered near Mammoth Lakes, CA. See the map above and click on this USGS link for more info.


Lots of quakes happening around the country this week. We live in exciting times.
