At least 2 dead, 11 injured in 6.4 earthquake in Northern California [Breaking]
A USGS ShakeAlert on the phone of Greta Turney, superintendent of the Kneeland Elementary School District.
Turney, who lives in Kneeland, about 15 miles from Eureka, said in a text that she almost never feels quakes, but this one was “REALLY big.” She’s heard from colleagues, friends and family in Eureka and Arcata who reported shattered glass from mirrors and broken dishes and cups that fell during the quake. One friend had her kitchen ceiling cave in, Turney said.“It was the most intense earthquake that I’ve felt. It was a long duration earthquake, so it was not only significant in size — at 6.
Her home was littered with broken glass, mostly from picture frames and cups falling off the walls and shelves. A glass of water on a bedside table wound up drenching her, she said.
