Everything kool? I got relatives in Vegas.........
This was a long way from Vegas.
That quake was about as far as you can get from Vegas, and still be near a public road ;o)
I know the exact spot the USGS is calling this. It is east of an area called “Clover Valley” and I’m most concerned for the folks there, especially my favorite micro-brew, Ruby Mtn. Brewing.
The area of the epicenter is out in the sagebrush - there’s nothing at that point called out by the USGS but a rail siding and a ghost town. The area has some lower hills, in the railroad sections. There’s a few people who have built houses out there, but you can count them on one hand.
The Clover Valley area, tho — they could have gotten quite a bit broken and likely had some cattle break down some fences.
There was a rumble in Eureka, which is a ways southwest, but nothing serious.
We have small quakes in NV all the time — like 3-somethings. When I say “all the time” I really mean it. A tremble here, a wiggle there - somewhere in the state, every week or every other week. There’s faults all over the place - that’s why we have so much geothermal water making surface excursions all over the state. Our neighbors to our west had 93F water out of their irrigation well - and there’s a fault right at the bast of the mountain not 300 yards to their west. Over at our place, two miles away, the water is normally cold.
4’s are more infrequent, but not surprising at all.
A 6+? Well, that is something and not terribly common.
