It just felt like my office was shaking quite a bit. It was about the longest earthquake I ve felt since living here for 20 years so I thought it was pretty significant, resident of Pleasanton, California Dave McMorrow said when asked about his experience with the recent shaking in Bay Area from the Eastern Sierra earthquake.
A magnitude of 6.0 earthquake centered in between Lake Tahoe and Mono Lake, eastern Sierra Nevada was recorded on Thursday afternoon. The residents in Bay Area were rattled by the feeling of rumble or a wave, as described by them, that felt a little different .
People from across the Bay Area, Concord, Hayward, and Daly City shared videos on the internet of the swinging or swaying of light fixtures and chandeliers.

The Earthquake
Steve Bohlen, California Geological Survey geologist says the region has encountered quakes recently in speedy succession. Bohlen observed to CBS Sacramento: Right now we happen to be in a bit of an active period.
A 3.8-magnitude earthquake hit the center of Lake Tahoe at the end of April, accompanied by a 4.7-magnitude earthquake in Truckee, California that was noticed from Sacramento all the way to Reno. Bohlen says the lake owes its being to faults.

SYLT, GERMANY - MAY 03: A fishing vessel for common shrimp (Crangon crangon) fishes in the North Sea during the first days of the shrimp fishing season on May 03, 2021 near Sylt Island, Germany. Fishermen along Germany s North Sea coast depend heavily on local restaurants to buy their catch, which led to a collapse in demand last year due to lockdown measures brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. While Germany is still in its third wave of the pandemic, the recent decline in infection rates, the acceleration of vaccinations as well as the recent, tentative opening of Sylt Island to tourists is giving fishermen hope that this year s season will return to a sense of normalcy.
