there was a fairly small quake in the Napa California area today as well.
i had never heard of any faults in Nevada Before
its not the strength of any of the US. quakes,,,but the fact that the ring of fire us popping off several quakes around the world lately that I found notable
Kinda scares me that seemingly the only region that hasn’t seen much is the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and N. California.
Hope we’re not setting up for something BIG....
I once saw a TV show called, “It Could Happen Tomorrow.”
The show mentioned one or two earthquake faults east of Las Vegas, and showed what would happen if one of them generated a major earthquake in the Las Vegas Valley.
Bottom line, a number of people dead and a great deal of property damage in a worse case scenario.
what were the odds, Las Vegas?
Nevada has its share of faults its just that they just don't get quite the press that California does
