Lytle Creek, CA – Multiple earthquakes shook California on Friday, including a 2.5-magnitude tremor near Lytle Creek and a 2.8-magnitude quake near Almanor. A 2.6-magnitude earthquake was also recorded near Petrolia, early Saturday. While minor, these quakes were felt by some residents.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), these tremors occurred at depths ranging from -1.8 km to 11.2 km. The agency has launched its “Did You Feel It?” program to gather reports from citizens about their experiences. This citizen science initiative helps enhance earthquake data accuracy.
The USGS encourages residents to share their observations, even if they felt nothing, to help improve real-time seismic monitoring. Input from the public can provide valuable insights into the range and intensity of the quakes across different areas. Whether you felt it or not, submitting a report can assist in earthquake studies and emergency response planning.
