Magnitude 3.7 Quake Shakes Mammoth Lakes in Eastern Sierra
MENLO PARK (CBS SF) -- The U.S. Geological Survey reported a 3.7-magnitude earthquake near Mammoth Lakes in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California on Saturday.
The tremor was recorded at 6:34 a.m. about 10 miles east-southeast of Mammoth Lakes near the Nevada border -- roughly 200 miles east of San Francisco -- at an estimated depth of 4.4 miles, according to the USGS.
The region around Mammoth Mountain is among the more seismically active areas of the Far West and a quake of this magnitude is not uncommon.
The Mono County Sheriff's Department says it has received no reports of damage.
