Earthquake: Truckee

      So, just when you thought it was safe to go into the mountains, another shaker.  It was the 3rd quake in less than 2 weeks.  The first two at the end of April were focused on Incline Village , Nevada.  Not an uncommon location inside the Basin.  Truckee, on the other hand, is outside the Basin.  Again, it is not unusual for the location.  The Sierra continues to move, continues its uplifting.  Geology and geologic "time" confound many amateur observers.  An earthquake?  Should we run out and buy some insurance?  Well, the California Earthquake Authority would suggest that "now" is the time.  As per requirements, property insurers send out the notices every year.   The CAlifornia Fund has lots of funds, waiting for the next big "One".

    Are you ready?
