Just as Northwest Reno residents thought the major earthquake activity
was finished, a 3.8 magnitude earthquake shook the region. The
earthquake happened at 10:55 p.m. on Wednesday night. It was centered
in the Verdi/Mogul area and was followed by a series of smaller
earthquakes. People called the News 4 newsroom from across the Reno
Sparks area to report the earthquake.
A 3.7 magnitude earthquake shook Eastern Nevada on Thursday morning.
That earthquake was centered in Duckwater.
There are no reports of damage or injuries from either earthquake.
Northern Nevada has had thousands of earthquakes since a swarm of them
started in February. Seismologists say Northern Nevada is due to have a
big earthquake, but they have no way of predicting when or if it will
happen.
