Earthquakes in Reno

California has always been known for its earthquakes, havging the most out fo any other state in the U.S. The most recent quake hit Reno yesterday at 11:40 p.m. It was rated at a 4.7, and was the biggest to hit reno since 1953. The city had been previously experiencing mild trembles for about two months until the big one yesterday. This one was strong enough to move rocks on hillsides, empty store shelves, and crack walls in people's houses. Seismologists are calling this unusual because the aftershocks seem to be getting stronge, while the normal pattern is for them to decrease over time. Scientists are urging residents to stay alert and prepare for maybe an even bigger earthquake to come. http://news.aol.com/story/_a/reno-urged-to-prepare-for-big-quake/20080426191309990001
