Nevada: Strong earthquake recorded 35 miles west of Reno
11:47 PM, Oct. 26, 2011 |
6:25 a.m. update: A 1.4-magnitude aftershock was reported in Plumas County at 5:42 a.m. Thursday morning, after a 4.7 quake shook the region Wednesday night.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported the aftershock about 12 miles southwest of Loyalton, Calif.

Wednesday night update: A reported 4.7-magnitude earthquake in Plumas County, Calif. shook parts of the region late Wednesday night, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake was recorded at 11:37 p.m. about 35 miles west of Reno in northern California, the government reported. The USGS initially estimated the quake at 5.2 but later placed it at 4.7-magnitude after the information had been reviewed by a seismologist.
The Plumas County Sheriff's Office said that it has received no reports of damage or injuries.
A deputy was headed to area of the quake to check for damage. Some summer homes are in that area, which the sheriff's office estimates is about 20 miles east of Quincy, Calif.
The sheriff's office received several calls asking about the earthquake, but none of the callers reported any problems. They were seeking information on the quake.
Mike Markus, who works at the Shell Oil station in Truckee, said he was reading when he felt a jolt from the quake that was an estimated 23 miles northwest of Truckee.
"It was just enough to get your attention," he said. "By the time it got your attention, it stopped."
"It kind of rattled the windows a little bit," Markus said. "It rattled for maybe 1 to 2 seconds, and then it just stopped right away."
He added that no damage occurred at the business or nearby.
The USGS said early today that the earthquake was:
- 9 miles south-southeast of Whitehawk, Calif.
- 11 miles south-southeast of Valley Ranch, Calif. and Clio, Calif.
- 90 miles northeast of Sacramento, Calif.
The earthquake's depth was estimated at 8.5 miles.
