5.2 Quake Again Rattles West

Posted Apr 30, 08 7:50 AM CDT in US,  Science & Health

No injuries or damage were immediately reported. Quakes have recently rattled Los Angeles, Lake Tahoe, and Reno, where a swarm of hundreds of tremors building in strength the past six weeks are making scientists—and residents—jittery.
