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.
