Long slow roller.

Yes, nice roller! Woke us up, set off the pans rattling and my cheap siesmograph is swinging.

That is almost where we were camping last weekend! Bet we would have felt that in the tent.

Now do Sacramento or Silicon Valley!

There will be damage from this one. Fortunately Mina is not very populated. Tonopah and Hawthorne are a different story.

[Reno89519]

Didn’t feel the 3.8M in nearby Gabbs or the 4.0M follow-up. Wonder if the 6.4M will be main or is precursor to bigger one?

[Reno89519]

Closes “town” is Coaldale with a reported population of 50.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Near Tonopah? Hope it didn’t damage the Clown Motel.

[mad_as_he$$]

Let’s hope it was the main event. Gabbs is a bunch of mobile homes. Hope no one was hurt.

[Reno89519]

That’s about all in Middle Gate, even fewer people scattered around in few mines, such as tungsten nearby. Very desolate.

[ridesthemiles]

Felt it here in Silver Springs...bout 90 miles N of Mina. 52 miles SE of 395 I-80 intersection in Reno.

Monitor moved, nothing broken that I know of yet. Have to check outside after daylight.

Got dizzy due to sinus issues. Than some more dizzy moments a few minutes later.

Went thru Feb 1971 Northridge quake. That was a jolt-—this one definitely was a slow roller, but no fun, either way.

Lots or road construction all around Reno. Wonder what happened with all of that?

[Reno89519]

Several follow-ups, including two back-to-back 5.4M according to the Nevada site, but didn’t feel them in Reno.

...back to sleep. Bye.
