COBB, Calif. – A 3.8-magnitude earthquake that hit near The Geysers geothermal steamfield shook various parts of Lake County as well as neighboring counties.
The US Geological Survey said the quake occurred at 10:29 p.m. Wednesday.
The quake's epicenter was 4.3 miles northwest of The Geysers, 5 miles west of Cobb and 7.5 miles west northwest of Anderson Springs, at a depth of 1.3 miles.
Early Thursday, shake reports had been filed with the US Geological Survey from Kelseyville, Lakeport, Lower Lake and Middletown in Lake County, as well as from Angwin and Calistoga in Napa County, and Cloverdale, Healdsburg and Geyserville in Sonoma County.
Additionally, on Lake County News' Facebook page, readers reported feeling the quake in areas including Kelseyville and Cobb, and even as far away as Redwood Valley. A Healdsburg resident also reported that she heard it rather than felt it, as the quake caused her entire home to creak.
