The Associated Press

TRUCKEE, Calif. - A moderate earthquake rocked the Sierra Nevada near Lake Tahoe early Saturday. No injuries or damage were immediately reported.

The quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8 hit at 7:34 a.m. just west of the California-Nevada border near Truckee, according to the United States Geological Survey's Web site.

Two smaller quakes struck a few minutes later.

Paula Wickstrom, an office worker at Boreal Mountain Resort in Truckee, said she felt the first quake at her home.

"It was just a big jolt. Everything started shaking. My china cabinet doors popped open," Wickstrom said.
