The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded 6.5 earthquake in a remote of western Nevada early Friday morning.
The temblor hit at 4:03 a.m. about 130 miles southeast of Reno and 60 miles east of Mono Lake — about halfway between Las Vegas and Reno. The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 but was later upgraded to 6.5 by the USGS.
The area around the Mw6.4 Nevada EQ will continue to experience more earthquakes than usual. Some may be larger, but many smaller.
