Lake Almanor, California, homeowners are shaken after the magnitude-5.5 earthquake.

Northern California was rattled by a magnitude-5.5 earthquake that struck Plumas County on Thursday, May 11, 2023, at 4:19 p.m. Pacific Time. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake struck 2.4 miles southwest of East Shore.

The shaking was felt across the Sacramento Valley, including Butte counties, Colusa, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano, and Yolo.

An earthquake like this can serve as a reminder for those who do not have earthquake insurance to look for coverage today! These situations happen randomly; stay prepared and protect your home/valuables before it is too late.

Reports from this earthquake

A homeowner in Yuba City, California, states:

“Sitting while on the Computer. I looked at the fish tank, and water was sloshing back and forth. It seemed to last 5 to 10 seconds. Lasted long enough time to change the channel on the TV, grab my phone, start dialing, and look at the fish tank.”

A homeowner in Olivehurst, California, reports:

“Sitting in my garage and felt like waves in the ocean along with my motorcycle rocking back n forth quite quickly.”
