A moderate earthquake has hit a mountainous region of Northern California. There are no immediate reports or injury or damage. The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude-5.2 temblor struck at 8:03 p.m., centered about 11 miles southeast of the town of Willow Creek in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest reports the Associated Press in the Los Angeles Times.
Shasta County Sheriff’s Detective Mark Haslam says the department has received no calls about the earthquake. A dispatcher at the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department, just west of the epicenter, says there are no immediate reports of injury or damage.
