Lately there’s been quite a swarm of earthquakes between Truckee and Reno. There have been scores of tremors felt in the city, including a M4.2 trembler on April 24 followed by a M4.7 shaker on April 25. There was another minor one I felt up here in Truckee last night. Some sources have been saying the pattern resembles that of rising magma. The USGS says that because of the shallow 1 to 3-mile depth of the quakes there is little chance that they are being caused by roiling hot molton magma preparing to unleash God’s wrath on Sin City North. Nope. Just a little subterranean stress relief going on is all. Please remain calm and resume gambling. I’m going skiing at Squaw.
