Series Of Quakes Rattle Northern California Near Nevada Border
SUSANVILLE, Lassen County (CBS / AP) -- A series of small earthquakes rattled a rural area of Northern California overnight.
The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude-4.7 quake struck at 9:55 p.m. Wednesday about 20 miles east of Janesville in Lassen County.
It was followed within minutes by four more quakes -- magnitudes-3.4, 4.0, 2.8 and 3.4 -- around the same area near the Nevada border.
The epicenters were about 45 miles north of Reno, Nevada.
A dispatcher with the Lassen County Sheriff's Department says there have been no reports of damage or injuries.
