This was today about 15 minutes ago. My chickens went batshit crazy a little while before the quake. The neighborhood is now eerily quiet.
That was in Stockton? Wow! I felt the roll here in Walnut Creek!
The 4.1 in Wyoming on the 4th and the 4.1 in Montana 2 days later was interesting this week.
Thanks so much for posting. Health/life bump!
Feeling no pain in San Rafael, Ca.
then about a half-dozen small ones on the NV border south of Carson City
I am in Placerville and the house sounded like it was going to fall. Really fast though. Not even a second.
I live about 20 miles from Stockton. Just a little jiggling here for a few seconds. Hanging lights swayed a bit. That’s all I felt.
Belated WELCOME ABOARD!!
I felt it here near Sacramento. Kitten was attacking my foot at the time and got scared ran off.
6.2 in Reno

Sacramento suburbs here. Felt it quite strongly, about five seconds of rolling side to side. Then it was over. The epicenter is about 100 miles due east of me.
Wouldn’t have wanted to have been in an old brick building there that was built before earthquake standards went into effect.
But it looks like it was out in the middle of nowhere, so hopefully, no injuries.
Speaking for myself, as a lifelong resident of California, (old man), anything less that a 5.0 is rather insignificant. I heard this earthquake more than I felt it. It sounded like a big diesel truck coming up my driveway!

I live 40 miles north of the 5.9 quake near the West Walker River. It was quite impressive. US 395, the major North/South route in the Eastern Sierra is closed at the California/Nevada border due to rock slides.
