A 2.2 magnitude earthquake hit 16km from Rio Dell, California today. It hit at 11:36am and was not felt by many. This is not a rare occasion on the west coast of California.
A survey done in a 5th period class at Fortuna High School, Fortuna is a town a couple miles from Rio Dell, showed that not one student felt it. It was a shallow earthquake at a little over 21km deep but did not have the power to be felt by most. Earthquakes like this are a common thing around there due to the active nearby faults. These little earthquakes are a good thing; hopefully stalling a rumored long overdue devastating earthquake.
