Mammoth Is Interesting

A strong Bay Area earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale swayed buildings in Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra on Tuesday night, Oct. 30.
The quake, whose epicenter was seven miles east of Milpitas, was centered along the Calaveras Fault, nine miles east of San Jose. It struck at 8:05 p.m.
A quake of this magnitude is considered "moderate" by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Even so, buildings swayed all the way to the Eastern Sierra, about 200 miles from the epicenter. At the Summit Condominiums, near Chair 15/Little Eagle Lodge, the earthquake felt like a "roller," lasting less than five seconds.
No injuries or damage was immediatey reported in Mammoth or other Eastern Sierra regions.
