Did you feel it? 7.1 earthquake felt in South Lake Tahoe

Ridgecrest, California was rocked with a 7.1 earthquake Friday night, and even though 311 miles away, many residents in South Lake Tahoe felt the trembler.

The quake struck at 8:19 p.m., causing Kern County fires, rocking buildings, cracked foundations and has led to the closure of some roadways in Southern California. The latest earthquake occurred 11 miles northeast of Ridgecrest, according to the US Geological Survey.

Three South Lake Tahoe residents weighed in after the earthquake:

Amanda said: "I felt the couch sway and watched the plants and trees outside swaying for about 20 seconds then it stopped. I could feel myself moving. It was the strangest experience."

Debbie said: "I felt the rolling for a half-minute or so."

Tammy added: "Our lamp over the dining room table was swinging."

This is one day after a 6.4-magnitude earthquake centered near Ridgecrest rattled the state Thursday. Since then there have been over 1,400 aftershocks.

The 7.1 earthquake is having aftershocks of its own, many being recorded by the University of Nevada Seismological Lab. On the attached map all red circles were seismic activity in the last 12 hours (as of 11:15 p.m. Friday).
