Mild temblors shake Truckee area

Residents in the Truckee area were shaking a bit Tuesday night.

A 1.6 magnitude earthquake struck at 6:01pm two miles west-southwest of Truckee. This was preceded by a stronger temblor of 3.6 at 5:53pm.

One person in Oakland reported feeling the first quake, though most of the more than 100 responses on the U.S. Geological Survey site were from people in the area, including Reno and Incline Village.
