Moderate 4.1 quake hits near Susanville, Lassen County, California, USA

The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 4.1 quake in the United States near Susanville, Lassen County, California, only 13 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Friday, May 26th, 2023, at 4:26 am local time at a very shallow depth of 0.8 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.1 earthquake as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Lake Almanor Country Club (pop. 420) located 1 miles from the epicenter.
In Chester (pop. 2,100) located 7 miles from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Westwood (pop. 1,600) located 8 miles from the epicenter, and Greenville (pop. 1,100) 12 miles away.
