A magnitude 5.4 earthquake shook portions of Northern California just before 4:20 p.m. Thursday, knocking out some California Highway Patrol communications.
The earthquake was centered in Lake Almanor in northwestern Plumas County, about 40 miles from Chico and 50 miles from Oroville. It was felt at least as far away as Sacramento. The CHP Yuba-Sutter station reported that its cellphone 911 lines were down as of 4:40 p.m. The station advised anyone who could not reach 911 through their cellphone to call 332-1200.
The quake rattled Sacramento, though only as a minor tremor. Workers on the upper floors of downtown high-rises felt it most, with swaying lights causing consternation in a city unused to shaking.An average of five earthquakes with magnitudes between 5.0 and 6.0 occur per year in California and Nevada, according to a recent three-year data sample.
