There are still power outages throughout California due to last week’s flooding and a New Year’s Day earthquake. A 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit Humboldt County in Northern California. The epicenter was in the same area that experienced a magnitude 6.4 quake that killed two people in mid-December.
Poweroutage.us is an app that “tracks, records, and aggregates power outages across the United States. And it is the most accurate way to find where power outages are in California. counties, hit by storms and flooding last week, have also lost power.
Northern California is still recovering from the extreme weather events. And later this week there remains a high possibility of more storms.
Rio Dell Mayor Debra Garnes said, “The earthquake felt more violent this time. It was shorter but more violent. My refrigerator moved two feet. Things came out of the refrigerator. There’s a crack in my wall from the violence of it.”
Images and videos taken by area residents of Rio Dell and nearby towns show violent shaking inside structures. Doorbell cameras captured cars and minivans swaying in a parking lot.
