5.3 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Northern Nevada Raising Concerns of Larger Threat

SHARE NOW
A 5.3 magnitude quake has struck near Valmy, Nevada — shallow enough to be felt across the region. Cracks tore through the desert floor, sending dust plumes across the horizon.
 The quake’s depth was only 6 km — the kind that shakes hard and spreads wide. Reports are flooding in from across northern Nevada: houses rattled, windows shaking, and roads split.
Some call it just another tremor along the fault lines. But what if this is the first warning sign of something much bigger brewing beneath the desert?
