Additional Information 2-degree map
Topo map centered at earthquake (This link takes you offsite).
At least it's a pretty darn short distance to run to get 50 feet above the lake if you're on the beach, from what I understand about Tahoe. And since Tahoe is small you'd only have to do so if the quake you feel was strong enough to literally knock you off your feet; any small or moderate quakes you'd feel would be too small to cause a tsunami or would be a quake distant from Tahoe.
Don't have a whole lot of time probably to get 50 feet up, though; probably a couple of minutes, tops.
I wish we'd just get it over with and liquidate the entire state in "The Big One" instead of all these small shakers.
I wasn't paying attention, been out and about!
Checking out the Freeways.
Didn't feel a thing.
I hope your plumbing was still working. ;)
yeah Tsunami is a possibility in Tahoe
It had me running out of the house.
