5.7 earthquake jolts rural northern California

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake broke at 8:47 p.m. Thursday northeast of Chico, causing shaking that was felt as far south as Stockton, as far west as Callistoga, as far east as Reno, and as far north as the California-Orgeon border, says the US Geological Survey. The quake started just beneath the earth's surface, which is not unusual in California. There have been no initial reports of major damage.
