MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST (AP) -- A light earthquake rumbled California's redwood country Tuesday night.
The U.S. Geological Survey said an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.4 shook parts of Mendocino and Lake counties at 8:49 p.m.
The quake was centered six miles of Lake Pillsbury in the Mendocino National Forest and 22 miles east of Willits.

No one reported feeling it to the USGS.
