REDDING (CBS SF) An earthquake with magnitude of 5.1 was reported but never hit the Redding area overnight. The United States Geological Survey reported the quake just after midnight, seven miles outside of Lewiston, just under Buckeye Ridge at Clair Engle Lake. But the Associated Press confirmed Friday morning that this was a
erroneous alert based off an earthquake that struck in Alaska. The event record of the California quake has since vanished from the USGS seismic activity map.
As of 9 a.m., the computer algorithm used to automatically write earthquake stories for the Los Angeles Times continued to list the quake as a recorded event.

That would be good for a quake app to let you know a major rumble has occurred.

Ummmmm.. We’re sorry. That wasn’t a 9.8 earthquake, someone tripped over the sensor.

Yes, the number of larger quakes and the amount of volcanic eruptions has been on the increase for a few decades.
