(KMJ) – The U.S. Geological Survey says an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.5 struck in a remote western Nevada early Friday morning.
The temblor was reported at 4:03 a.m. about 35 miles outside Tonopah, just east of the Sierra Nevada range. It was followed by more than 30 aftershocks, with some as strong as magnitude of 5.4.
The U.S.G.S. says people from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Central Valley have taken to social media saying they felt the effects of that quake. And some Nevada Sheriff’s Departments are reporting cracks and damage to Highway 95 in the western part of the state.
