4.8 temblor felt in South Lake Tahoe
It was an earthquake, not a burglar trying to get in — is what South Lake Tahoe police dispatchers told people Wednesday night.
An earthquake measuring 4.8 struck 23 miles northwest of Truckee in Plumas County at 11:37pm Oct. 26.
People are reporting they felt it as far away as Redwood City – 276 miles from the epicenter.
In South Lake Tahoe it was a slight rocking that lasted for a few seconds.
A series of aftershocks have been recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Whitehawk area — a 1.9 at. 11:41pm, a 2.4 at 11:51pm, and a 1.5 at 11:54pm.

Kae, You are on top of it good job.
We felt it here in the Carson Valley.
No damage, nothing fell. But I did feel it shake back and forth rather quickly.
Way to go LAKETAHOENEWS.NET for reporting this and being on top of it. Tribune is sound asleep.
Lou, you’re on top of it!
Another Mom, Tribune is done. Never felt good about a local newspaper based somewhere else. I won’t read it. Thanks to Kae.
nice little shimmyshake…
and yes, the trib IS the community’s voice from america’s playground. hmmm….
How fortunate we are to have Kae reporting in such a timely manner!
I hope readers are donating to LTN when possible. It takes a lot of work to report the news to a waiting community the way Kae does.
Was wondering if it was an earthquake I felt…went straight to LTNews to find out and of course Kae has the info. Thank you!
My house shook for an 8 count last night after the first hit. Good reporting Kae.
Check out your insurance company. Some will no longer write Quake!!!
