Also breaking tonight a strong earthquake rocking Northern California.
The magnitude 5.6 quake rattling homes and businesses there.
Power knocked out tonight for thousands.
That quake centered near Redwood Valley, California, well north of San Francisco.
Tonight reports of multiple injuries and aftershocks now being reported and what scientists are now saying about this.
Trevor Ott from California.
>> This is the moment a 5.6 magnitude earthquake rocked rural Northern California.
Causing injuries and sending groceries and bottles off shelves smashing onto the floor.
>> I started hearing like glass clicking together and I'm like, what is that?
>> Renee Everroad heard the earthquake alert on her phone inside the store just before the shaking started.
>> I was like shaking from head to toe. My hands were shaking.
I was watching wine bottles drop and just break and every and the wine go everywhere.
It felt like it lasted for 20 minutes.
>> The quake was captured on home security cameras like this one miles from the epicenter near the town of Willits.
>> Is everyone okay?
>> Rattled residents then surveying the damage power knocked out for thousands.
>> I've never been in an earthquake this big and I've been in a lot of earthquakes.
This was bad.
>> The shaking lasted a full 30 seconds.
>> I got tape.
>> And was felt as far away as San Jose, 180 miles to the south.
And the epicenter is not along a major fault line.
>> This is somewhat inland from it, but it's still part of the San Andreas system.
In that region, this is the strongest earthquake that they've seen in at least the last 100 years.
>> And David, California's governor says more than a million people got those earthquake alerts on their phone before the shaking even began.
Officials are now surveying the damage.
>> David, it is always alarming.
Trevor Ott tonight.
Trevor, thank you.
