A series of earthquakes jolted the Tahoe area awake on Sunday morning.
According the United States Geological Survey, the largest, a 3.8-magnitude quake, struck at 8:33 a.m. It was strong enough that many area residents posted on social media they'd felt the rumble.
The epicenter was 4.5 miles southeast of Dollar Point, near the middle of Lake Tahoe. It struck at a depth of 2 kilometers. According to the USGS, there have been three earthquakes in the same area this morning. The first was the most widely felt 3.8 shake; the second came two minutes later and was 2.8 magnitude; the third was slightly weaker at 2.7 and struck at 8:45 a.m.
There were no initial reports of damage or injuries. More information will be added as released by the USGS.
